A game with zero objects and zero scrolls. It's about as minimalist as it gets. Big fan of the aquarium board with lions and tigers in the fish tank.

A demo about every teenager's dream of getting to meet a bunch of ZZTers. Thanks to some poor filenames this game breaks ZZT without resaving the file in something like KevEdit.

What an incredibly powerful title! The "longest ZZT game" here has 30 boards.

This game lets you save Barney! Or shoot him and get called a sicko for doing so.

Well, you're here. I guess you want to know why! You whiny little people always want to know WHY! Well, I'll tell you! You're here to help Scotch tape find Balding Eagle 1 and then the mailman who has stolen his sandwhich! Get moving, butt-hole.

Search for clues and track down the notorious thief "Jim". While still quite rough in quality, this one looks a lot more coherent than most games with this yellow bordered aesthetic. There's a board named "Womans room (arf arf!)" if you like your detective stories with a dash of objectifying women.

When a game couldn't be bothered to have a title, you know you're in for a treat. Lots of zoos in this one owing to ZZT's variety of animal enemies.

An RPG demo with its own custom font that gives the smiley characters spiky hair! Also there's board called "Throne room" and you talk to the king in it so I'm not sure what this game is actually about.

There are like 40 boards in this game imported from STK and other ZZT utilities, and then 4 boards of gameplay which unsurprisingly, use almost none of what was imported.

Good name. Great title screen. Excellent company name. Somehow spelled "ZZT" wrong. Your sister has been captured by a ghost and it's up to you to rescue her.
