Reception[]
Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "A few extras like the two-player mode, stock market controls, and open air competitions, add little spice to what ends up being very bland fare."[1]
In 1996, Computer Gaming World declared Zeppelin the 35th-worst computer game ever released.[2]
In 1994, Power Play (a german computer game magazine) added it to the list of "Best 100 games in 1994" in their special edition 9. [3]
In March 1994, ASM (Aktueller Software Markt) - a german computer and video game magazine - rated Zeppelin with 11 out of 12 and gave the award "ASM Hit/very good". "Chic presentation and an unusual game idea make a successful genre mix".[4]
