This is an unfinished Llama Masters 3, the sequel to my early ZZT
games Llama Masters and Llama Masters II. Apparently, I started
working on this some time around July 1999, although I think most
of the work was done that December, after I was inspired by
replaying my old games for the ridiculously self-indulgent
collection "Five Years of Maximum ZZT." I worked on it in occasional
spurts over the next few months.

In 2000, I apparently went through each board (up to a certain point)
and appraised its progress, putting a scroll in the upper right
corner of the board with a comment. I do not remember why I did that.
But the boards without scrolls were probably made after that point.
The most recent timestamp on the ZZT file was from July 10, 2003,
but I think most of the significant work was done in 1999-2000.
After that, it languished in obscurity, getting moved from hard
drive to hard drive, archived and unarchived, until I recorded
a video of myself playing through it in 2011. Then it sat around
some more for the next ten years and now I'm digging it up and
releasing it before it gets lost forever.

I have resisted the temptation to make any changes or fixes. This
is the file as it was in 2003. I am not sure whether it's possible
to reach the last board without cheating (I got stuck at one point
and had to cheat to get all the keys, but I might just be bad at
the game).

I don't remember whether where the game was intended to go after
this point. I doubt I had much of a plan; these games were usually
mostly just stream of consciousness. I think I had a vague idea of
a theme with the villains of the previous games all having moved on
with their lives and no longer doing bad stuff, but that was about
it.

There might be more info in that playthrough video I made ten years
ago (https://youtu.be/nKlD7t6WvGE). Or maybe it contradicts everything
I'm saying here. I don't feel like watching it to find out.

Anyway, enjoy!
