Gameplay

Voyager I is a real-time science fiction adventure in which the player's mission is to stop a kamikaze alien ship bent on the destruction of Earth.

Reception

Dave Jones reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "I feel that while the graphics of Voyager I are good the game design itself is too simplistic to hold the interest of the average computer game player for very long. If persistence is your "thing" you will find Voyager I interesting but those who enjoy employing strategies or arcade arcade skills will probably want to look elsewhere."
Bruce Berrien reviewed Voyager I in Space Gamer No. 67. Berrien commented that "the game is slow-moving and rather boring Voyager I quickly becomes predictable."
