nice graphics, cute story, shame it was never finished and the gameplay isn't great

I got started in ZZT... I dunno that exact year, but it was before 2000. I think I got it off of AOL, but then I found zzt.org back when it was still around. I went by ZZTDogbert back then, and for whatever reason I lost that moniker... I hope to get back into it again since I'm freaking bored out of my skull most nights...

Oh yeah, Hey to Zamros and Nadir, even if you don't remember me :D

Yep, I remember those days... I remember a few years ago running into (i think) masamune on Subspace/Continuum for a short while, but I can't remember what his name was.

Found ZZT on a shareware CD in 1999. Traded games with my older brother for a while. Eventually we lost that computer. I wish I still had the old games, bad as they were.

Rediscovered ZZT in 2005 when I made this account. I fooled around on the forums, but that generally went nowhere. Made 'Island of ZZT' and that is still to date the only game I have relesed to z2. Later made a mini game called "Run Run Run" It was not uploaded because it was too small and I had it saved on the wrong board. I'll probobly include that game as a bonus feature on a future game. Or maybe not.

I had a game going which I loved called "Escape from the burning building." Didn't finish it, didn't upload it. Not even a demo. It's gone. It is my lifes mission to remake it.

Rediscovered ZZT a few weeks ago and have been hard at work on several new ideas. I'd like to make a new z2 account and shed the dumb ass "ajc1490' screen name, but I like that it reads: Account made in 2005.

@AJC: Just make sure it's not something retarded, like "thematrixeatsyou"

or SoccerPie403, or any other name generated by the Strong Bad algorithm.
or anything with too many numbers after it.
or anything that takes longer to say than to write.
or something that looks just like someone else's name.
or something with the sole purpose of captioning your avitar, use the member rank spot for that.

...or *ducks*
