ok, i suppose this question probably was asked a thousand times, but i do it again: can someone please hint me to links / games that are like zzt / mzx, but with graphics ? and more compatible with windows ? sure, there is the win32 port of megazeux, but its alpha and failed to save my game. somethimes saving works, but in later levels it crashes.
i so much like the gameplay of megazeux. wish i could play games like this that run stable on my computer...
please someone help me.
afterwards, admin feel free to delete this thread...

Firstly, have you looked at <a href="
http://zzt.org/fora/viewt ... 1008">this topic</a> yet to get MZX working in XP?
Secondly, there are other ZZT clones besides MZX, but both are very... ahem, fringe. There's <a href="
http://bangdepot.tk/">Bang!</a> and ZIG (which is on this site, I believe). Best bet if you want to pick a ZZT clone is MZX, but maybe buckling down and learning a programming language would be worthwhile. =DDD

Bang actually doesn't look like that bad of an alternative. Although support and games for it so far is pretty lacking.

while not exactly akin to ZZT/MZX, I suggest looking at this...

Dear herc,
Who is this 'herc' you're speaking of?
Kind regards,
Herc
(excuse me, I'm slightly intoxicated :P)

my nickname derives from the early "hercules monitor". this was the first pc monitor that was capable of displaying highres graphics. i used to play "game of robot" (
www.game-of-robot.de ) on it, one of the very few games to this time supporting hercules graphic cards.
greetings, herc

Ahh, the good old Hercules monitors and video cards!
Also, Commodore, you do that. ;D
