Go get the five purple keys! They're in all sorts of secret locations you gotta go down paths to get to. My favorite board is the House of Blues.

I think that I shall never see, a poem as lovely as the game of ZZT.

I think that the games that cums with ZZT is good games. This is probably sum uv the best ZZT games that ther is. It is beter without grafics becuse it makes file-size smaller. Without LZEXE the file-size wood be way to big to fit on 1 disk. I am giving this a 6/5 points becuse is beter.

Bah. The graphics are crude and primitive, the sound is a horrid joke, the worlds included with it are out of date, there's no replay value, the editor's too limited. and I have several personal issues with the creator of the game. The four games- Town, City, Cave, and Dungeon of ZZT- are akin to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, killing all who view them without mercy. They have delivered a plague unto our land, raped our children and stolen our pie. I feel that this rating is fully justified.

I thought this game was really cool when it first came out. That was when I only played TOWN.ZZT, DEMO.ZZT, and TOUR.ZZT, and I couldn't even edit Town or Tour. I totally wanted to get Caves, Dungeons, and City, but I could never convince my parents to pay for them, y'know? I also thought it would be cool if I could send in a game board for Best of ZZT, but that never happened.

Anyway, I found that the coolest part of ZZT was that the level editor could create games just like the ones that came with ZZT. I was used to games like Think Quick that put limitations on how much you could make your games like the pre-packaged ones, so as I explored ZZT, it turned out to be a real treat to duplicate all of the tricks in Town and more. Probably the pinnacle of ZZT's flexibility is its "object-oriented" language for programming your own game characters. There are dozens upon dozens of ways for these objects to interact with the player and spice up the game.

When the Internet got to be a really big thing, making ZZT games also grew in popularity. Now you can share your work with friends all over the world and try to get some recognition. There are plenty of places to look for free games to download. Although Tim Sweeney may have missed a few ways to improve ZZT, its sheer replayability earns it a 5.

We couldn't make any games without this, unless we used the earlier versions, which aren't as good due to lag. Anyone who gives this lower than a 4.5 should be taken out to the back and shot.

I don't think this game really needs a review. It will probably never get less than 5/5. Without this program, none of the games on this website would be here. Hail to Tim Sweeney, for giving us what truly is the best game ever made.

It's what we use to make ZZT games, we can't not hate it. Sure, we can't place things in the bottom row, but hey, it's those little imperfections that make you like it more, to remind you that it was made by a (forgetful, clumsy, at times bewildering) person.
