Reception

Roy Wagner reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Sargon 4 has a long standing reputation, but that alone will not give you everything that's wanted in a program. This is not to say that Sargon 4 is not a good purchase. It is an outstanding chess playing partner, but lacks the features of the competition."{{cite magazine |last=Wagner |first=Roy |title=Chessmaster 2100 vs. Sargon 4 |magazine=Computer Gaming World |date=September 1989 |issue=63 |pages=20–21 |url=https://archive.org/details/Computer_Gaming_World_Issue_63/page/n19/mode/1up }} Atari ST magazine STart reviewed the Macintosh version and said "Sargon IV may be the best chess game you can run on an ST–but only if you use a Mac emulator like Magic Sac or Spectre 128."{{cite magazine |last1=Plotkin |first1=David |title=Mac and PC On The ST - Sargon IV and Printer Interface III |journal=STart |date=April 1989 |volume=3 |issue=9 |page=35-36 |publisher=Antic Publishing |url=https://archive.org/details/STart-Magazine-Issue-20/page/n35/mode/2up}}
