Reception

Charles A. Smith reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "For this reviewer, Rules of Engagement is elegant. There are no gee-whiz 256-color images. Instead, graphic designer Maurice Molyneaux and programmer Thomas Carbone opted for austerity and functionality to transform one's machine into a computer with deadly potential fitting snugly into the game's fiction."^[1]
