Reception
Computer Gaming World criticized Pacific Islandss lack of infantry (making the machines guns useless) or air power (despite the aircraft on the box art), both faults that existed with Team Yankee. The magazine concluded that it "comes closer to a Nintendo game than a wargame". The game was reviewed in 1993 in Dragon #189 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.
