Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed Gyrodine on their August 1, 1984 issue as being the ninth most-successful table arcade unit of the year.[1]
gollark: Not even that stuff, just, say, spaceships.
gollark: Inasmuch as there will probably always be somewhat scarce things people want.
gollark: fully automated luxury gay space communism = probably impractical
gollark: It:- logs to a file, not just into memory like the naive implementation did- has date, time and process information in it now- uses a primitive log rotation thing so it won't use more than 65KiB on logs
gollark: I made the logging work sensibly.
