Description

Publication history

Super Squadron was designed by Joseph Italiano and published by Adventure Simulations in 1983 as a 60-page book and a 24-page book.[1] The second edition was published in 1984 as a boxed set including a 60-page book and a 24-page book, and a pamphlet.[1]

Super Science was the final supplement with expanded rules on powers, vehicles and running a space campaign.

Reception

William A. Barton reviewed Super Squadron in Space Gamer No. 73.[2] Barton commented that "If you have no qualms about random power generation [...] Super Squadron is definitely a game you should check out. Even if you don't wish to switch from Champions, Superworld, or V&V, SS has a lot of source material [...] you'll find useful."[2]
