What's your favorite ZZT sidescrolling engine?
Preferrably one that's able to do horizontal jumping. The one in ZZT Encyclopedia is pretty good for that, but it's not quite as responsive as I'd like. What have you seen that's good?

I always liked Forest of ZZT and Freak Da Cat.

Okay, I modded the Stupid the Dog engine a bit to give it better hang-time at the top of the jump - it's my belief that frustration at not hitting those maximum-height-jumps isn't what a player of a platformer should be feeling.

It's saved on the board of Stupid the Dog that I used to modify the engine. Tell me if it seems responsive enough to you.
(And no, this isn't purely academic. I have an idea.)

I agree, Stupid the Dog was lame - but I like his engine.
Re: Sid's Disaster; Great game, wish whoever made it had played it through before it was released. ;) I just downloaded it the other day and I've been playing through it, and I can't tell you how frustrating it is to walk into a board and have the bats/frogs shooting the spikes that auto-end the game.
I'm basically modding the Stupid the Dog engine as follows:
Player gets locked in (hitting down button is a crouching stance), plus player clone for shot direction. Shooting down cycles through your special abilities.
