ZZT Games and Game Reviews
ZZT is an MS-DOS game created by the famous Tim Sweeney back in 1991. ZZT is mostly known not for its multi-episode base game, but for the extremely prolific catalogue of games that were created by a community of fans, mostly during the 90s and early 2000s. While limited by its very basic ASCII graphics, ZZT contains a built-in world editor to allow the player to create their own custom games. The ease of use and impressive level of customisation has allowed for the creation of many very creative and incredible games over the years.
In this section you can read reviews of various excellent historical ZZT games, as well as download a few of my own games that I've created and still find worthy enough to put online. If you want to download ZZT and look through the main archive of fan-made worlds that exist for it, you can find all of that at
ZZT.org. If you find ZZT interesting, please make sure to check
the Dock (links page) for links to
some of the best ZZT fansites still standing as of this writing.

- I didn't really have anywhere else to put this, but this is a toolkit I made that includes blinking white-on-black text/ASCII tiles and grey texts, exotic objects that aren't available in the game normally. I only discovered these tiles in 2025, so KevEdit will display them as question marks, and I can't guarantee any other third party program (editors/source ports) will fare any better. But... here it is anyway.
