====== ZZT ======

**ZZT**((Named such so as to be at the bottom of alphabetical shareware lists. The name is not an abbreviation or acronym.)) is text-mode based game creation system. It had a sequel known as //Super ZZT//, which was markedly less successful because the editor was hidden behind a commandline argument. [[software:Megazeux]] would later become game's de facto successor. Over the years there have been other attempts at making ZZT clones, such as //ZIG//, //Bang!//, //Plastic//, and heaven knows what else, but none of them ever caught on.
