Reception
John J. Anderson reviewed Galactic Chase for Computer Gaming World in 1982, and stated that: BYTE in June 1982 described the game as an interesting variant of Galaxian. While disliking the "cosmic dandruff" background lights, the magazine otherwise approved of its gameplay and graphics, concluding that "Galactic Chase is a natural for any Atari owner's game library".
