Moonbase Commander will stand out as the sleeper hit of 2002 and it deserves all the praise I am sure it will get.

A solid turn based strategy game that is surprisingly well designed.

One of the most accessible and uniquely addictive strategy games this year.

It's a really fun game that you can easily install at work to burn some time when your boss isn't looking, or just whittle away an hour or two without noticing the time pass.

A solid and extremely fun game that will probably be overlooked by many in favor of more high-profile titles. It's a shame really, because Moonbase Commander's simple focus and gameplay is an excellent example of substance over style.

Adults might find it simplistic, repititious, and boring, but it's possible that younger kids might find it accessible, challenging, and addictive. [Nov 2002, p.124]
