Reception

Russell Grant Collins reviewed Famine In Far-Go for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "Despite my gripes I recommend this module to any beginning Gamma World gamemaster and any other Gamma World gamemaster willing to do whatever work might be needed to fit it into his campaign. Even if the gamemaster thinks he will have to do a lot of fiddling to blend this adventure into his land, the new rules are valuable."
