Reception
Tom M. Buchanan reviewed Starbase Hyperion in The Space Gamer No. 34.[3] Buchanan commented that "This is an excellent computer simulation game. The full graphics and real-time combat displays make the game visually challenging. If you're looking for a game with challenging play instead of complex rules and you own a Sorcerer computer, this game is a must."[3]
