$This time we have an interview
$with Freezerburn/Vertigo. To verify, 
$you can mail him:
$treadwam@marietta.edu
$This is Theta14 talking.
This is Freezer talking.

$1.) How and when did you get
$into ZZT?

Well, i got into zzt way back in 1995, 
or so. But I didn't get STK, or any of 
that happy crap until maybe 1998. When I 
actually got into the commune, 
I was pre-chaos&disorder. I joined a 
company, quit that company, joined ERI, 
released an art collection, quit ERI, 
joined Interactive Fantasies, 
quit Interactive Fantasies, became 
president of ERI. And now I'm here.

$2.) What games/utils have you
$released in ZZT/MZX?

Well, sadly to say, I only have an art 
collection that's about a year old. 
I released an extremely crappy 24hoz 
game... "Freezerburned". But, if 
you want a piece of my updated work 
just email me, and ask.

$3.) What are your favorite 
$ZZT/MZX games?

Gem Hunter, by far are the coolest games. 
I also liked The Caverns of Zeux 
series for MZX.Kings Quest 1 & 2. 
Teen Priest 1, and 2. Winter. Escape from 
Zyla Island. and Tuts Tomb Legends.

$4.) What is your favorite 
$type of ZZT/MZX game?

RPG. Mainly because I'm an RPGuy. RPGuy. 
Catchy.

$5.) Do you have any tips
$for beginning programmers?

3 things. One, don't be annoying. 
Two, don't start off on the boards. 
Three, don't start
your own newbie company.

$6.) How did you get your 
$ZZT nickname?

Heh. I have two. Freezerburn came from 
the thing that meats get if they're 
left in the freezer too long. Although, 
most people call me an oxymoron. 
Vertigo is just a cool name. Ect.

$7.) What do you think is
$most important in a ZZT
$/MZX game?

Plot, storyline, and atmosphere. With a 
touch of graphix, and programming.

$8.) Do you have any 
$future projects in ZZT/
$MZX?

Err. RUIN (zzt), The Judge of Dreams 
(zzt, dedicated to zenith), 
North (zzt, with Hercules)
and the ill-fated Dark Metropolis (zzt, 
prolly will be the sequel to RUIN.)

$9.) Any comments? 

Always keep the Florida Love. 
And leave the hard times, to freezer. 
Cya Theta, nice talkin.
