Reception

William A. Barton reviewed Marooned on Ghostring in The Space Gamer No. 48. [1] Barton commented that "While better conceived than the average Group One planetary adventure, Marooned on Ghostring falls short of the past Guild efforts, though an enterprising ref might be able to make use of its basic situation with some careful modifications." [1]

Michael Stackpole reviewed Marooned on Ghostring in The Space Gamer No. 50. [3] Stackpole commented that "less than half of it is text, the rest is illustrations [...] If you look carefully, you notice that the same piece of dreadful artwork used on the back of the booklet is used as an interior illo." [3]
