Ah yes LORD. I wonder how many players have married Violet only to
have a divorce because she didn't do the dishes or something.

I never got to the end of that game. I did better in Operator Overkill
II with it set to random instead of hit a key at the right time. I
defeated the Overkill ship and enemy.

Wow I remember buying LORD back in '11.. I was on the tail end of the
whole thing.

I see [gameport.com](http://www.gameport.com/bbs/lord.html) is alive,
once again.  Although back then it took them over a month and a half
to get me a key.  Oddly enough John Pritchett's turnaround for a stock
TradeWars 2002 license was 2 days.

Although when it comes to running it, I've found OS/2 to still be the
best solution.  I was starting to play with
KVM+[shellinabox](https://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/), but I
couldn't imagine it being all that popular...
