ZZT. The first game by the now-popular Epic MegaGames, ZZT started the
revolution of game-creators. Games like MegaZeux, Pock, Z2, etc. all had
their roots in ZZT. At first, it looks like a simple little ANSI puzzle
game, but once you press the [E] key, you discover that it's actually a
complete game creation system, with it's own language! That's right, a
language known as ZZT-OOP, so easy an 8 year old can understand it.

Unfortunately, the graphics capabilities are not all that impressive. ZZT
supports 7 color ANSI graphics, (Greg Janson, the creator of MegaZeux, wrote
a special ZZT world, the Super Tool Kit, found in the "ZZT_!" section, which
allows 15 color ANSI graphics + background colors) horrible PC Speaker music,
but is packed to the core with playability.

There are over 250 ZZT games already created, and uploaded to the World
Wide Web. This web page is destined to provide you with the most complete
index of ZZT titles, all indexed on my Web Page server, Chocobo.org.
Total - 287 ZZT Games!
