==Reception== ''[[Computer Gaming World]]'' stated in February 1994 that ''Companions of Xanth'' was "a very funny game based on an interesting literary license", with "traditional adventure game puzzles".<ref name="cgw199402">{{Cite magazine |date=February 1994 |title=Taking A Peek |url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1994&pub=2&id=115 |magazine=Computer Gaming World |pages=212β220}}</ref> The magazine's [[Scorpia (journalist)|Scorpia]] was less positive in March 1994, criticizing the forced choice of Nada Naga as a Companion, puzzle quality ("uneven at best, and in some cases, downright poor"), and short playing time. She concluded that ''Companions of Xanth'' was "the weakest Legend game to date".<ref name="scorpia199403">{{Cite magazine |date=March 1994 |title=It's All Pun And Games |url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1994&pub=2&id=116 |author=Scorpia |magazine=Computer Gaming World |pages=70, 72}}</ref> In August 1994 the magazine said that ''Xanth'' "was somewhat weak as a game, but full of Piers Anthony-style humor".<ref name="wilson199408">{{Cite magazine |last=Wilson |first=Johnny L. |author= |last2= |first2= |date=August 1994 |title=The Toxic Humormonger |department= |url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1994&pub=2&id=121 |magazine=Computer Gaming World |pages=46β48 |type= }}</ref> The game was reviewed in 1994 in ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'' #204 by [[Sandy Petersen]] in the "Eye of the Monitor" column.
