Reception
Computer Gaming World approved of Iron Lord's graphics but criticized its performance and load times, especially as it could not run from a hard drive. The magazine nonetheless concluded that the game was "an above-average combination of adventure, strategy and action gaming".[1] The game was reviewed in 1990 in Dragon #159 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.[2]
gollark: I think systemd actually does roughly that, but with targets.
gollark: I mean, yes, I *could* just use a folder of "services" and a folder of "enabled services" and some symlinks, and that *would* probably work.
gollark: Oh, I have a fun idea, I can use SQLite3 for storing data like which services are enabled.
gollark: Obviously this will have to know when a process exits so it can restart it, but people want to be able to stop/start/restart a service.
gollark: I see. So for my thing I suppose I'll just have to have a thread waiting for each process (ugh, but what can you do) and then... hope that if I kill that, `wait` will handle it okay.
