[fzb]

hey zenith. long time!

thanks for the list! i actually completed six boards on a game! hoorah!

[ajc]

Yummy
Winter
Dungeon Master Gallery

Those are probobly my favorets. ZZTV9 was good also but I dont think that qualifies as a game.

[Schroedingers Cat]

I liked On the Wire.

[Zenith Nadir]

i am kind of embarrassed by that nowadays, i did not do the original concept justice

i did a half-decent job of emulating draco's style, though, so there's that

[Schroedingers Cat]

I don't suppose I could persuade you to throw all those game into a single archive and upload them somewhere, could I? Z2's search is having some issues finding a few of those games.

[Zenith Nadir]

which ones

i am not zipping all of them, be specific

[Quantum P.]

Some of those might not be listed because they were contest entries -- for example, Commando Exorcist is contained in Weekend of ZZT January 2006, I think.

[Scribbit]

Burger Joint, of course.
Run-on
BoulderXod
Chrono Wars I-X (after the "ending" in X the sequels got a little dry).
Evil Sorcerers' Party

...actually, most of my favorites are going into my totally-unfinished ZZT intro-pack, which is totally unfinished because I haven't finished the First-Time-Player's Tutorial that was the point of the exercise. Last time I updated the list was here.

[RobertP]

A couple of cool games not mentioned before:


AAG 2 -3
A Dwarvish-Mead Dream
Cannibal Island
Dr. Zeebo
Kamek
Legend of Brandonia
Mined Out
Parroty
Psychic Solar War Adventure
Rapa Nui
Sid's Disaster
Ultima RPG
Wasteland

..Thirteen games, for now, because I've to go. They range from nice to really cool.

[Schroedingers Cat]

which ones

i am not zipping all of them, be specific

I'm still chewing my way through the list; I've just finished downloading the h's.

• THE LIST SO FAR:
• *p0p*
• ________
• 100 Beans
• Commando Exorcist [I've downloaded WoZ2006 like Quantum suggested, though]
• Demo 2
• Dispair MST3K Edit
• Diseased

ok ok

* just look for "tucan", p0p is by him, it may be listed as Pop, i dunno
* _________ is a flimsy game, that is actually its name, just look for "flimsy"
* 100 Beans is a game by mrs. clause, it was an additional file along with Rup Pig or La La Land or something else like that
* Demo 2 is chronos30's "sequel" to the original demo.zzt, i think it's bundled with More STK?
* i intentionally misspelled "Dispair", it was one of johnwwells' mst3k things
* Diseased is included with the unfinished draco game collection "Everything!"

i hope this helps

That sounds like a cool project. I'd like to get that when it's done.

[Commodore]

yes! I so got the shoutout from robp. go me!
