Gameplay

Rules of Engagement is a game of tactical starship combat in which players control a flagship and give orders to ships of its fleet. [1]

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]

Sequel

In 1993 there was a sequel published by Impressions Inc. titled Rules of Engagement 2.
