ZZT Version 2.0 -- Copyright 1991
Potomac Computer Systems
10406 Holbrook Drive
Potomac, MD 20854
DESCRIPTION.
ZZT is a new action/adventure game based on object-oriented programming.
To complete 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
in ZZT has some sort of purpose.
- 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
40 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 free hint sheet.
REGISTRATION:
ZZT is shareware and a registration fee of $12.95 + $2 S&H is requested.
