A game I thought I lost

Hey everyone who is still around!

I was going through my backups, and found a copy of ZZT, and started to reminisce. I noticed that I have lost a couple games on z2, so I went looking through my backup for them, but I think they are gone forever.
However, I did find one that I had started and never finished. It is 7:06 and I had show-cased it on ZZTV 7.

If we can still upload games to Z2, I would like to upload this one.
The problem is, I started to play it and noticed that there are a lot of spelling mistakes. I would like to edit the game, but I'm currently using a program called Lyon and it doesn't allow me to edit the game.

If anyone is around, could I get some suggestions?

Thank you! :D

Hi leamas, welcome back. If you upload it I will add it.

People still use kevedit. There's a win version no idea if it's good for win10 etc. Or you can edit with ZAP, a VB based editor. (It's in the archive.) ZZT Ultra, is flash based zzt clone that has an editor as well.

Oh hey leamas. A while ago, I was trying to locate Thief 1 and 2, but neither is on Z2, and I can't find them anywhere else. Are they lost to time?

yeah I noticed that as well.
I used to have a copy of them on a floppy disk at my parent's home... but I'm not sure if it was thrown out.
The other problem is, I don't know anyone who owns a floppy drive :P
