Day of the Viper is a first-person shooter video game published by Accolade in 1989. As the Viper robot, the player must explore five abandoned hi-tech and heavily guarded buildings in order to find and install floppy disks. The game was compared to 3D Monster Maze.<ref name="STU"/><ref name="ACE2"/>
ReceptionEdit
The game was reviewed in 1990 in Dragon #157 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 5 out of 5 stars.<ref name="Dragon157">Template:Cite journal</ref> Zzap!64 noted Day of the Viper as "an incredibly similar game" to Slaygon (1988), which is made by the same developers. Further commenting that "Charging £19.95 for a game that's two years old (and doesn't seem to have been updated) is a bit suspect."<ref name="zzap">Template:Cite magazine</ref>
