Reception

J. Mishcon reviewed Time Trek in The Space Gamer No. 28. [3] Mishcon commented that "the real-time aspect of the game and the aggressive tactics of the damn Klingons make this game quite exciting. For those into hand-eye coordination and fast action, Time Trek will be enjoyable." [3] In his 80-US review of Space Battle , "One of the best space war games available", Geo Blank compared the game to Time Trek, commenting that "The extra control makes Time Trek a better action game." [4]
