♦ Livestream of the ZZT world "Code Red" by Alexis Janson, Matt Williams (1993) [https://museumofzzt.com/file/view/svzztreg/]. ♦
A return to the casino to head into a sixth space station filled with aliens ready to conquer humanity. It's a rough week for Earth.
Smooth sailing up to the casino as earlier ending already had us explore all two boards of games. This time, being a little stingier when paying for information nets us the location of a hidden key in the loot box opening game from 1993. That is, once we figure out how the coordinates are being determined. (Top left is X=1, Y=1).
This lets us hitch a ride in the back of a pickup truck shipping a bunch of toxic waste to the dump that is SoCal. Here we meet a significant number of enemies, and dogs that nobody in particular felt like shooting. More ZZTer cameos lead to the obligatory transporter to a space station. This time with a few very brief action boards, but also a giant Mother Alien boss that made great use of character animations to look like quite the pulsating mass.
It's also another rare non-bummer ending for the game with humanity safe ...for now at least.
