Reception

Wendy Graham reviewed The Colour of Magic Computer Adventure for Adventurer magazine and stated that "Playing with book in hand, I still got nowhere very slowly, and a chum to whom I passed the game reported that he didn't think much of it either, and also gave up in vexation very early on. Pity." [3]
