Here's a few quotes from the playtesting sessions of the game:
Mick Reddick - "Black Hack... Played this in beta and can honestly say this is as much fun as you can have with a retro clone! Simple¸ Streamlined and Superb."
Tony Tucker - "The Black Hack is so simple and flexible I can run it off the top of my head. Think up some weird monsters¸ give them some hit dice and go crazy!"
Daniel Sell¸ Undercroft ‘zine - "David black designs with spunk. Sharp and funny¸ full of the old spirit."
Chris McDowall¸ Into the Odd - "Blackhack is three-chord D&D. It hand picks the best parts of the game's forty year history and distills it down to its firey¸ addictive spirit. Everything discarded is soon forgotten."
