Uploaded files which contain one or more text files in formats ranging from TXT to DOC. These files may include documentation, text assets, and order forms. These are partially supported by the Museum's file viewer. All formats are treated as plain text which will cause display issues for more robust formats like .DOC files, though their content is usually still parse-able. New creations should only include text files that are used in conjunction with other files contained in the upload. For new creations avoid generic names like readme.txt as ZZT worlds usually share a directory with many others. Though not required, including some text file with information about your creation is strongly encouraged.
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.
Program Description
An external editor for ZZT.
Program Description
This nifty executable transfers data from one ZZT world to the next, without requiring password systems (or player honesty!). This is, needless to say, rather useful for multi-file ZZT games. Endorsed by Dr. Dos!
Utility Description
Expanded ZZT help file
