Reception
The first TAGAP received largely popular reviews, mainly from Finnish websites and gaming magazines. Pelit, a Finnish gaming magazine described TAGAP as "a new synonym for 'cult game'." The game was also included as part of a 'free games' package on the DVD that came with issue #144 of PC PowerPlay, an Australian gaming magazine. The game, dubbed "catch of the month", was described as "An extremely polished game, but the action could have been faster and less random, as it can sometimes feel cheap." Mikrobitti, Finland's largest computer magazine, has given the game good reviews, and has included the game on their annual DVD, 'Huvi & Hyöty Romppu 2008' (Entertainment and Utility Disk). While TAGAP 2 had a bit harder time finding its spotlight in the changed digital distribution landscape, it was still received with well among critics and gamers alike, including but not limited to as being the GameTrailers co-host Daniel Kayser's 'BattleCry of the Week' on EpicBattleAxe.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“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.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
