The game was criticized for its campy tone and the out-of-place pop cultural references. (Some of the references that were made throughout the game were from Star Trek, Star Wars, E.T., Red Dwarf, South Park, The X-Files, Beavis and Butt-Head, The Wizard of Oz, Austin Powers, Homeward Bound, Starship Troopers, and Alien.) The game sold poorly; about 30,000 copies were sold. GameFront's Phil Owen wrote in 2010, "This one is known sort of as the red-headed stepdouche of the X-Com franchise, and yet this was the one I played the most", adding that he preferred the administration and space exploration parts over the "not particularly fun" simulation part.

“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
