In Issue 15 of Imagine , Stephen Nutt was generally impressed, saying, "The general plot is sound. The players are presented with a number of problems, which in several cases have surprising twists at the end. The scenario is fast and there is plenty of combat." The only drawback of note was the inclusion of a deus ex machina that saves the player characters in the final encounter. But he concluded, "Overall, Dramune Run is a welcome addition to the Star Frontiers range." [1]
A copy of Dramune Run is held in the collection of the Strong National Museum of Play (object 110.2116). [3]
