The game was developed by Goldtree Enterprises, a company founded in 1993 in New Orleans.[2] It was in development for two years[3] and was originally scheduled to release in 1997.[4]

Reception[edit]

Computer Gaming World said "Best suited for die-hard blast maniacs, Dead Reckoning is simply too dated and derivative for its own good."[5]

The game was nominated for the Codie award for Best New Arcade/Action Software Game for 1998 by the Software Publishers Association.[8]
