Reception[edit]

W.G. Armintrout reviewed Crime Lords in The Space Gamer No. 51.[1] Armintrout commented that "I have to recommend Crime Lords. I enjoyed it a great deal in spite of all the problems. The game is exciting, the gamemasters are good, and it has the feel of a role-playing game more than anything else. I just hope they rewrite the rulebook soon."[1]
