Remember Star Wars ASCIImation?

I wish DOSBox could make recordings like that for text games. That (and color data) is all you really need for ZZT, and it would probably be less resource-intensive than recording an .avi file.

Look sorry but nobody actually lieks this game and nobody actually likes seedruns either...?

yeah really

Try a cheap alternative recorder thingy.

what's with all the pauses?

Am I the only person who noticed you can travel say 10 steps with pausing in the same time other things move 5?

Meanwhile if you didn't pause you'd move 5 and they'd move 5?

It's how you skip the Castle for one thing.

ingenious dos, but i was hoping this thread was about MAKING town of zzt in ~26:00 and thus i am disappointed.

Getting the green key from the Armory was a pretty clever trick - I'm suprised I never thought of that since I'm not a big fan of slider puzzles.

Bumping because ZZT General is pretty boring anymore.

ass quality google video.

On an interesting side note, it might be interesting to try seeing what else can be accomplished using doses pause trick.

Its like bullet-time for zzt.

The real trick is to use the mouse and hold P while moving.

I forgot to demonstrate how you can run into your own bullets like this.

that makes sense.


Good job. I've been trying to get past that door for years.
