First thing:
I tried to download Vio's game but I got the message "The requested URL /zgames/9/9elation.zip was not found on this server."
Second thing:
I tried to play Fred2, but it crashes on loading (posibly the file is too large?) Is there a program I can run it with?

fred! 2 is too goddamn big. most people can't run it.
back when i wanted to play it, my laptop could only run it in the editor, so i took the "alternate ending" segment (which is pretty much a totally different game anyway) and put it into a seperate file, which reduced the size of the main portion of the game to about 310kb from 392kb. i may still have it, actually! hang on
(pause)
fuck, no i don't. sry

For whatever reason, it seems ZZT doesn't mind large games when it's the only one. Make a seperate folder for it with a new copy of zzt.
