Welcome to the .zTx. Computer Productions family of fantasy role
playing game computer support utility products. Since our very first
retail offering in 1990 we have worked to bring our customers an
increasing line of diverse gaming products.
The following is the .zTx. Computer Productions catalog of fantasy
gaming computer support products and programs as of July 1993.
<*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*>

powers and side-effects. Determines who can use them and when.

<*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*>
Cavern News Network (TM) - Copyright (C) 1991 - FREE!
Our 1991 holiday gift program. It simulated a news-wire service
that covered a very strange and often wacky fantasy world.
<*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*>
Zfortune (TM) - Copyright (C) 1991 - $5 Registration
Two programs in one! Not only will it produce a daily horroscope
for you, but it will also tell you what the wandering sooth-sayer
said. Use as a "greeting" when DOS wakes up or as a game utility.
<*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*>
ZICONS (TM) - Copyright (C) 1991 - FREE!
Everyone else was doing it, so we did too! Our run-away most
popular free product of all time is 101 great Windows icons!
<*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*>
ZUTILS (TM) - Copyright (C) 1991 - FREE!
You want DOS-utilites, we got DOS-utilites! A half-dozen or so
little programs which do "stuff". The price was right.
<*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*>
OnLineGL (TM) - Copyright (C) 1990-1992 - $5 Registraton

Caverns 4.0 (TM) - Copyright (C) 1993 - $25 Registration
An updated version of the Caverns Fantasy Workstation Environment.
Requires a VGA-compatable video system and a mouse. Uses ZTX's
PortHole user interface system. Many new features including pop-
up dice calculator, faster system startup and graphic support
for external modules.

Caverns (TM) - Copyright (C) 1992 - $25 Registration
The Caverns Fantasy Workstation Environment is a graphical user
interface shell for a family of fantasy gaming utilities. It needs
an EGA or better display and works best with a mouse. Produces TXT
files which can be inported into almost any word processor on the
market. Dozens of Caverns programs have been released by .zTx. and
third party programers which cover the spectrum of fantasy gaming.
<*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*>
CaveLite (TM) - Copyright (C) 1992 - $25 Registration
Works with the same programs as ZTX Caverns, but only requires a CGA
screen. Does not require (or support) a mouse. Aimed at owners of
older laptops - needs only a 720K disk to create a complete system!
NOTE: Special registration offer for Caverns users: Register EITHER
Caverns or CaveLite and you do not need to register the other! Plus
we will wave registration fees on all Caverns programs published by
.zTx. Computer Productions. This offer does NOT cover registrations
for programs written for Caverns by other companies.
The following are some of the older .zTx. programs which have been
ported over to the Caverns Fantasy Workstation Environment:
Cavern News Network for Caverns (TM) (C) 1992 $5 Reg.
It's Magic! for Caverns (TM) (C) 1991-1992 $5 Reg.
Ncounter for Caverns (TM) (C) 1992 $5 Reg.

We have also be releasing new products which include:
PropMaster DLX for Caverns (TM) - Copyright (C) 1992 - $5 Registration
Did you ever want a prop department to call on when you were finished
laying out that grand design? Do you just run out of time every week
when it comes to filling out those little details and extras which add
so much to the adventuring mood? Then you need PropMaster DLX! Logicly
fill complete rooms with props and effects without having to change
your design or plot.
<*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*>
ZUMEL (TM) - Copyright (C) 1992 - $5 Registration
The ZTX Universal Macro Expantion Language is a complete text-based
macro language for fantasy role playing gamers and gamelords. Feed it
a text file and it will fill out and pump up all the required details
for a complete adventure. Make a NPC template and then crank out all
the NPCs you want, each one different! Great for instant dungeons.
This is a stand-alone version off the system we have used in several
of our products through the years.
<*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*>
Danger-Dungeon (TM) - Copyright (C) 1993 - $5 Registration
Do you have a friend who wants to get his feet wet in fantasy role
playing games? Did he faint when you dragged out the 27-volume "start"
kit of your current gaming system? Perhaps you need something that is
designed to be a non-system-specific training simulation. Then try out
fully mouse-driven Danger-Dungeon! Requires 286 or higher and VGA.
NOTE: This is a text-based system - you can READ to your friend and
get him used to working through a gamelord.
<*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*>
FyrWorld (TM) - Copyright (C) 1992-1993 - Costs Vary With Product
At last! Our own gaming system! FyrWorld takes you to a world divided by
a magic ring-of-fire that some say was placed there by the gods. On one
side of the wall an empire has developed which contains all the known
races and lands. On the other side only grave evil and danger has been
discovered. FyrWorld has been built from the ground up with an eye towards
complete computer support.
