Reception
Timothy J. Trimble reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Although gamers who require sterling graphics to draw them into a game may be disappointed, Nemesis GO Master has plenty to offer in the way of instruction, competition and satisfaction. Overall, Nemesis GO Master is a good program for both the beginning and intermediate GO player."[2]
The reviewer for PC World said that Nemesis Go Master would be "an excellent introduction" to Go: "Your computer opponent will win but won't gloat."[3]
Charles Seiter reviewed Nemesis Go Master 3.0 for Macworld and called it "the leading go game for the Macintosh" and "an improvement over learning the game from books or from all but the most patient humans".[4]
Game Player's PC Buyer's Guide complimented its "elegant, option-loaded, highly flexible introduction to the game".[5]
