Reception
In the August 1988 issue of ST Action magazine, the Atari ST version of Crack'ed received a 58% rating.[4]
In 1999 the Video Game Critic gave the 7800 release a D-, citing a "poorly-designed control scheme."[5]
After playing the unreleased Atari 2600 prototype, a writer for AtariProtos commented, "While it may have been a mediocre title for the 7800, Crack'ed actually made a decent 2600 game."[3]
