'''ZZT'''* 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. [[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.

The best way to use ZZT is via [http://www.dosbox.com/ DOSBox]! You may also want to grab a DOSBox frontend like [http://members.quicknet.nl/blankendaalr/dbgl/ DBGL]. The only other thing you need is ZZT itself, which you can grab from [https://museumofzzt.com/getting-started The Museum of ZZT].
