Mouse/pause slowdown trick

Post by crank »

Hello, your benevolent and all-knowing site creator is back with another post about a 20-year-old game

If you start ZZT with Mouse enabled, play a game, then HOLD P (pause button), you can move with the mouse while time around you is slowed to a crawl. You can outrun bullets and stuff. It's pretty cool, and it probably breaks a lot of games.

so is this widely known or not

If by widely know you mean the four people who still play zzt than I'd wager yes. But honestly I don't remember if I knew that or not :P

How bizarre that ZZT is just a little younger than me. Puts things into terrifying perspective.

Haha I didn't use the mouse for that since it's a little cheap. That was just me mashing the hell out of P.
