In the September 1980 edition of
The Space Gamer (Issue No. 31), Keith Gross admired the refreshingly novel nature of
Time Tripper, saying, "[It] is one of the few non-Swords-and-Sorcery fantasy games. Its design is highly innovative.
Timetripper is highly recommended for all fantasy or s-f gamers who want to try something out of the ordinary." In the October 1980 edition of
Dragon (Issue 42), Tony Watson also liked the innovative nature of the game, as well as its value as a solitaire game: "
Time Tripper is a fun game. The idea is novel, the encounters are interesting without taking themselves too seriously, and the game is varied enough so that it never gets boring. It’s also a fine solitaire game, and that’s a big plus for those gamers who have a difficult time meeting with opponents." ==Awards==
