Comment on What was your favorite shareware game?
rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 3 days agoI was so addicted to ZZT back then! The player-made worlds were such a delight, and my slow-ass computer which choked on so many then-current games ran them without trouble.
Now I want to try it out again.

People are still making games using it! When I get a bit more free time I want to polish up and republish the ones I made.

I always wanted to play with the editor and make a game with it back then, but never got around to it. Perhaps it’s still not too late!

ZZT is officially freeware these days, too! The last original floppy was purchased about five years ago, and afterwards Sweeney declared the program officially free to use, though sadly not open-source. I believe it has been successfully decompiled for over a decade, though.
