Making a game to literally resurrect ZZT... Dr. Dos smiley?
Hey y'all, I know ZZT is dead... so I'm making a game called The Resurrection of ZZT. In it, the worlds of ZZT are in ruins, and the mad scientist DR DOS is trying to resurrect ZZT (a la frankenstein). Unfortunately, he's gone a little too mad, and has abandoned the effort in his madness. You must enter his laboratory, save Dr. Dos, and do the resurrection yourself. To get in, you have to travel through the ruins of the four original ZZT worlds, which have in the last 20-odd years become overgrown and in tatters.
Etc etc etc, long story short, part of the game is that some of the seven keys that unlock Dr. Dos's lab are held by old-school ZZT game makers. I remember once coming across a board that had the smileys you're "supposed" to use to represent them in your games, I think from back in the day when people on the BBS systems would put each other in their games. Anyone know where this is??
Also, what should I use to represent Dr. Dos? Does he have a preference...
Thanks in advance!

http://zzt.org/?p=cameo used to have the cameo chars/colors but looks like it's broken.
Also, the game sounds great and I'm looking forward to it.

That page is broken because the columns for it were on the PHPBB user table and likely got wiped in a forum software upgrade.
I always used a white on black char 1 to represent myself in ZZT.
God damn the stupid frontpage integration with forum accounts just makes anything on archive.org immediately die as well

Awww snap zamros, that'd be a super useful page.
And Dr Dos thanks, will do. If there's one thing I learned in school it was databases suuuck.

Haha, my cameo reference was a large red "dragon". I remember submitting that *years* ago. I'd love to change it, but that thing is pretty immortal by now.

Make sure to ask permission before putting Emon, Tyrannous, or ZZT Operative in your game
