"Playable, but a lot more imagination could have gone into the graphics and sound effects."
‐ A&B Computing

"Having a number of rooms is perhaps more of a gimmick than a useful addition to the game, but the screens are well put together and, as a variation on the straight 'blast the aliens rigid' concept, Aabatron makes a very playable game."
‐ Acorn User

"Altogether a reasonable game... The aliens come in a number of different types, each with their own personality."
‐ Computer Gamer

"It is great that Aabatron is now available, if it hadn't been rediscovered, it would sadly not have been a great loss."
‐ Electron User Group

"Despite the game's lack of any real complexity or dynamic frontier-smashing programming, it's addictive."
