Reception

David James Ritchie reviewed Sauron in The Space Gamer No. 17.[1] Ritchie reviewed Gondor and Sauron together and commented that "They are adequate, but nothing more. Yet this lack of excellent is a cheat. Those who buy these games will do so because of the familiarity with the Tolkien mythos. They will expect the same impact from these games as was present in the books. They will not find the same degree of experience".[1]

gollark: Having to actually think about allocation of things was annoying.
gollark: I seem to have managed to make my mildly faster version pass all test cases except for some where it gets the newline placement mildly wrong.
gollark: Due to dissatisfaction with the programming language.
gollark: Well, I was, but I randomly rewrite it every few months.
