Do you remember that ZZT game I mentioned about a month ago? Well, there's a screenshot of it over on the left if you don't. After a month or so of lounging around in the pending uploads list of Z2 (which isn't an unusually long waiting time), something bizarre has happened.

I checked the list again today to find that the game had been overwritten with a modified version. This fake version of the file replaces most of the second half of the game with blank corridor-type boards (named "Third Floor" and "Free Will") and a different ending - it also changes the title screen to just read "Castle ZZT". This is part of why I wanted this screenshot here again - I wanted to verify that I didn't just forget to put the word "of" in.

And my name has been left on it. The credit on the title screen is intact, and the text file detailing the game and author has remained untouched. I'm not sure who was trying to do what, but it's very strange.

I've already emailed the admin that seems most normal to ask what's going on. Grr.
