Reception

Lt. H. E. Dille reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Overall, General Quarters Software has succeeded in providing war gamers an inexpensive way to strive for a miracle. Midway is a fine achievement for the fledging firm, offering challenging (if not balanced) game play, smooth operation, adequate graphics, and a very strong computer opponent. It is certainly worth the purchase price."[1]
