Reception

John Semley of The Globe and Mail said "Much of Age of Computer's humour – from its jokes about real-world wildfires to sight gags about way-too-steep wheelchair ramps – may strike many people as galling. But as in the previous, big screen Fubar adventures, Terry and Dean's beautiful obliviousness produces a genuine sympathy."[4]

According to Google 91% of its users liked Fubar Age of Computer.[5]
