Reception
[edit]James A. McPherson reviewed the program for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "An intermediate level game, The Alpine Encounter has detailed graphics similar to other current graphic adventure games."[3]
Terry Rooker reviewed VODAC: The Alpine Encounter in Space Gamer No. 73.[2] Rooker commented that "For people who like espionage adventures, VODAC can be fun and exciting.
