OH MY GOD

It's always nagged at me that I've never completed either of the Best of ZZT games - I redownloaded Part 1 yesterday thinking that it couldn't possibly be as difficult as it had seemed when I had first seen it. From first appearances, it's actually slightly worse than I remember.

Well, that's something to keep me distracted from being on a plane tomorrow...

Good grief... for someone not acquainted with ZZT, that just looks... well, it looks like the time I tried to learn how to play Dwarf Fortress. (I failed; the learning overhang curve got the better of me. :P)

I'm imagining a remake of that scene in the first Matrix movie, where you're sitting at the screen and saying "I don't even see the code anymore... all I see is Player Character... torch... treasure chest..." :P

I've beaten Best 2, but I'm fairly sure that room is what stopped me from beating Best 1.

Slider puzzles are something that thankfully died out rather early. Now I'd love to make a game with an absurd one and as soon as you touch the first slider/boulder immediately changes all of it to empties with a "Just kidding!" message.

So this is what it looks like when ZZT has a diarrhea attack. O_o;;

...Damn, this just put an idea into my head: Use ZZT to make a Room Escape.
