Reception edit
H. E. Dille reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Vulcan is a fine game for novice and intermediate level wargarners, or anyone with a particular passion for this period. The improvements made to the operating system are logical and appreciated, although long term re-playability is still an issue. Bottom line: Nothing truly innovative, but recommended nonetheless."[2]
Phillipa Irving concluded in Crash issue 39, "This is Spectrum wargaming at its very best; complex in operation, wide in scope, and easy to use".[1]
