Unexpected Engines
From the very beginning people were quick to try and create elaborate systems coded in ZZT via ZZT-OOP. These creations are frequently referred to as engines, and over the years some of them have gotten pretty darn wild. This collection covers a few surprising engines that have been made, and focuses on just one solid executions for each engine rather than a comprehensive list of every ZZT platformer, RPG, racer, etc.

Collection Description
While the pinball component of this game is indeed a surprise engine that makes the best of ZZT's limitations, the real surprise is an encoded image that requires a password (7-1-4-3-6) to decrypt!

Collection Description
In the 90s there was a lot of discussion about whether or not ZZT could pull off Tetris, with most folks not believing it to be possible.
Enter Masamune with ZZTris which... actually isn't really Tetris, but it sure as heck was more than most people thought was doable. While Preposterous Machines in this collection contains a far more proper Tetris engine, Masamune's almost-there attempt predates it by an entire decade!
