GCW Shareware CD Collection
Back in 1995, my father, my sister, and I went to a computer expo in Raritan, New Jersey, as we had for the past couple years. This time, though, this was special. Dad spent about $100 to buy this newfangled device for our 80386 computer, something called a "CD-ROM drive" and another ten on the "Greg & Chrissy Whale Shareware Collection." This thing had "600 + DOS games! All Apogee's Latest Hits! 200+ Doom and Doom II maps!"
One of those games was, of course, ZZT. These are the games that were on the disc. Hope you enjoy a trip down Snorb's nostalgia lane!

Collection Description
The original version on the disc was corrupted. This is the non-corrupted version I uploaded to Z2 back in 2005.
Program Description
Identical to "Best of ZZT", except for an earlier revision of ZZT.DAT - the shareware nag messages use the old Epic order line number instead of the new one.
Collection Description
These were the two official worlds in the collection.

The original versions of Landland and Landland 2 on the disc were corrupted. These are the restored versions uploaded a couple years ago.
Collection Description
Actually, uh, this is a Super ZZT game. Not 100% sure how that got in D:\AD\ZZT instead of D:\AD\ZZTSUP, but whatever. Adding for accuracy purposes.

Look, this was on the disc. I got nothing here.
