New Finds
The New Finds page lists files which are not new creations, but older titles that were not readily accessible prior to publication on the Museum of ZZT. These files come from old websites (often preserved via The Internet Archive) as well as donations of ZZTer's own collections.
This list is not exhaustive due to publication dates not being tracked prior to Nov. 7th, 2018.
Files with unknown release dates are also considered New Finds, though this isn't guaranteed to be accurate.
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
Basically I took a bunch of screens from old games I did, fixed up the graphics a bit, and added a new mechanism where you punch enough walls on a building and then it collapses, leaving ash behind. Three unique endings!
Super Wall Puncher 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 Super Wall Puncher on its own -- please see separate entries for the others, A Dink in the Grass, Fire 1000, and ZZTorture.
