The problem is that people associate good games with texture mapped polygonal 3D graphics. We need to show ZZT to people who care about the game more than the visuals - say, those roleplaying people who sit around with dice and charts.

Yeah, but they might expect the game to have, like, variables, and unlimited memory space and stuff. And people would whine that you can't play ZZT online with friends.

With all of the ZZT clone projects that we haven't heard from in months, we should have ZZT online in no time!

All true. And it is not a lie when I say ALL X-box owners, (that I know of), think good graphics are a way for a good game. Ok, good graphics is a plus, but its really the gameplay, story, and how fun it really is to play. These are the things that count the most. (It better have a semi-decent story or I will hate the game), but thats just me.

Yeah, and ZZT online sounds cool, but I doubt it will ever be done, (or even started.)

It's not that Frost's graphics are bad; it's just that they focus on stylization, not realism. The graphics have a cartoony feel and the shapes tend to follow the grid of tiles (for example, diagonal lines going exactly one tile up, then one to the side, then one up again, one to the side...). It's not exactly my style either, but we all have different opinions.
