missingness

Early WoZ's and some of the more recent 24hoz's (such as the one Quantum_P won, which was actually what I was looking for), don't really seem to be around anymore, at least in easily downloadable zip files. Is it possible for this to be remedied?

Also the 24hoz might do to be updated with the fact that that particular convention of ZZTing is pretty much completely defunct.

I've lost the zip file for my contest, I only have my entry into the first contest, ARA.ZZT and its text file

And phunk's original site doesn't seem to be online anymore, so it's probably not on Z2 either

I'm pretty sure it was just woz.zip

I still have the original as well.. along with what I planned on submitting back then.

I might have some of the entires for some of them, but my ZZT archive is HUGE so I probably wouldn't be able to find them unless if I knew exactly what I was looking for.

see if you can find anything called woz.zip or WoZ.zip

if necessary we can piece them together, i guess

Wait... I won a 24HoZZT?

The only contest I can recall winning is this one. I did participate in Appliance's 24HoZZT, but nothing ever happened with the contest, to my knowledge.

He probably meant either that one or the one you just hosted

I meant Appliance's, which I think had the topic Duty?

My guess is that your entry was among the best, and I just kind of assumed it had won.

I'm guessing that it might be possible to find some of this sort of stuff by scouring the ZZT General for contest threads.

I also might have the first WoZ zip and possibly some other stuff on my old hard drive, which hopefully I'll figure out how to access over the holidays.

I rummaged around and found Quantum's old game, since the original thread links to his website unless it was actually a false link.

I uploaded the original WoZ on the main page.

=( Yes.. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be but it kind of happened.

Edit:

I meant no.

Awesome! I didn't know anyone still had those.

I also just found the WoZ Ando hosted on my computer. It doesn't seem to be on the archives, should I upload it? From there, if someone has a zip for the WoZ MadTom hosted, our archives should be complete.

(It also might be useful to have links to collections of the entries on ZUltimate, but as I lack the power of table programming, I shall leave that to better men.)

Also, on the contests menu on the z2 homepage, there's a link for Weekend of ZZT, but it just gives a 404 rather than taking you to a page. Is this because the link is http://zzt.org/WoZ rather than http://zzt.org/woz (which leads to MadTom's site for the current WoZ)? In any case, it probably merits fixing.

I'll fix that now.

As for my own WoZ entries, I've searched right through my HDD and all my CD-Rs, and I can't find it. Hopefully Ando will have it
