==Reception== In the November 1994 edition of ''[[Pyramid (magazine)|Pyramid]]'' (Issue #10), Ken and Jo Walton liked both the content of ''Forgotten Futures 2'' and the shareware concept, saying, "This is an excellent, atmospheric, roleplaying game, made slightly unapproachable by its unusual distribution method. It is available only on disk; you unzip the file and print out the book for yourself. All text files are ASCII format, all pictures are GIFs."<ref>{{cite journal | last =Walton | first =Ken & Jo | title =Forgotten Futures 2: The Log of the Astronef | journal =Pyramid | issue =10 | publisher = Steve Jackson Games | date =November 1994 | url =http://www.sjgames.com/pyramid/sample.html?id=1038 | access-date = 2020-02-04}}</ref> In the March 1998 edition of ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'' (Issue 245), [[Allen Varney]] called ''Forgotten Futures'' "A very substantial and admirable shareware RPG from one of Britain's top designers, based on the British 'scientific romances' popular a century ago." Varney also complimented Marcus Rowland for trying to keep those old 'scientific romance' stories in circulation, saying, "Aside from the game's real virtues, this worthy mission makes ''Forgotten Futures'' a must for any fan of science fiction's early history."<ref name=dragon245>{{cite journal|last=Varney|first=Allen|author-link=Allen Varney| date=March 1998 |title=Roleplaying Reviews|journal=[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]|publisher=[[TSR (company)|TSR, Inc.]]|issue=245|pages=104}}</ref>
