♦ Livestream of the ZZT world "The Land of Traseel" by Graham Peet (2001) [https://museumofzzt.com/file/view/gptraseel/]. ♦
Further adventuring in Traseel. With a solid chunk of the overworld explored, and much of the rest in this video, progress is actually made. We conquer a few quests and dungeons, plus discover a handful of well-hidden secrets as the game continues to impress.
Alas, this is where things do really start to break down. The game's use of flags that don't get cleared finally hits the limit and a number of the game's checks check multiple at a time. It's very likely this game cannot be beaten without substantial cheating/editing. The key situation isn't faring much better, and it's hard to say when you're meant to open up half the locked doors you come across.
It's still a rather impressive and massive game, so massive that there's going to be a third stream to finish it up, though without the flag issues I think we would have gotten through it here.
Plus a boulder puzzle that stumps me completely!
