Uploaded files which contain one of more executables. These files are typically utilities to aid in working with ZZT in some way or game specific executables designed to be used with just the included upload. These files are NOT supported by the Museum's file viewer for obvious reasons.
Program Description
This has been added for nostalgic purposes--to show what the earlier version of ZZT looked like. We recommend not using this for playing OR editing games, though it is worth a look.
Program Description
This is the newest version of ZZT, and it is the one you should use to play and edit games. It includes documentation and the 6 original ZZT worlds (Town, Caves, Dungeons, Underground City, Tour and Demo).
Program Description
Compared to the July 1992 shareware release, this omits the "Software Creations BBS" note in ABOUT.HLP and has minor changes to the "About ZZT..." section.
Program Description
An unofficial release of ZZT that fixes some bugs and increases limits. Board sizes can now be 32k. The bottom row #put bug is fixed. Water no longer plays a sound when touched.
Program Description
The final release in the ZZT 4.x series
Released during the Glorious Trainwrecks' Glorious Weekend of ZZT Blitzkrieg-o-thon 5/11/2012.
* ZZT's 20k board limit has been increased to 65k.
* ZZT's bottom-row placement bug has been fixed.
* ZZT is now 39k.
* untitled.zzt, temp.brd, and saved.sav will no longer be the default. Now by default you must put in a name of your own. This means no more angst over accidentally saving over your last board, saved game, or ZZT project.
* 255 objects per board, 255 boards per zzt world.
* Removed most in-game messages and sound effects. Kept the item pick-up messages and the invisible wall sound and message.
* The game no longer crashes if your cursor accidentally wanders off the board when using f4 in the editor. (If you continue typing off into oblivion, though, it will still crash)
Program Description
This is an incomplete ZZT clone. It has apparently been developed further - see https://web.archive.org/web/20041011090009/http://www.planetzztpp.com/index.html and https://sourceforge.net/projects/zztpp/

Program Description
A program to lock and unlock ZZT worlds.
Program Description
This might be a little inside baseball. It's designed to seem like the first game made by a teenager in 199X just figuring out ZZT, but it's also subtly playing on the expectations of people familiar with ZZT. Bad on purpose...?
ZZTorture is part of my Oktrollberfest 2023 game jam entry, which was actually four entire games with an installer that randomly picks one and deletes the others. This is only ZZTorture on its own -- please see separate entries for the others, A Dink in the Grass, Fire 1000, and Super Wall Puncher.

Program Description
Is it bad on purpose or good on accident? You'll never know unless you play it!

Swearing and text character on text character violence, possibly some anti-capitalist stuff!

If you are having problems with the installer running, you can try downloading the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable from Microsoft's website.
I think I have all the necessary .DLLs included in the zip file, however.
Program Description
This allows you to delete or modify the messages that ZZT has been defaulted with by our benevolent Mr. Sweeney.
