- DESCRIPTION.
-
- ZZT is a new action/adventure game based on object-oriented programming.
- To complete Town of ZZT, you must master 43 game boards filled with creatures
- and ingenious puzzles. The game is very challenging and requires a good amount
- of brain power as well as fast reflexes.
-
- ZZT includes a game editor so you can create your own game worlds using
- a set of ready made objects. You can also write small programs to control
- objects using the built in ZZT-OOP programming language.
-
- SPECIFICATIONS:
-
- ZZT requires a PC compatible computer with at least 512k RAM and any
- graphics adapter with a color or monochrome screen. Keyboard, Joystick and
- Mouse operation are fully supported.
-
- HINTS:
-
- - When you discover a new object, try touching it. Nearly everything has
- some sort of purpose (but watch out for red herrings!)
-
- - Remember that you can often exit the room you are in by moving off
- the screen.
-
- - Save the game often. Then if you get killed you can just restore
- the game and continue on without penalty.
-
- - Don't feel overwhelmed. You can expect to play ZZT a total of about
- 20 hours before you finish the game. It is well worth the effort and
- you can always take your journey one step at a time.
-
- NEED HELP?
-
- Some of the puzzles in ZZT are really tough, but they can all be solved.
- If you are really stuck on a board, write to me describing your problem and
- I'll send you a hint. Unlimited user support!
