DESCRIPTION.

     ZZT is a new action/adventure game based on object-oriented programming.
This disk includes two game worlds, "Town of ZZT" and "Caves of ZZT".  The
games are very challenging and require a good amount of brain power as well
as fast reflexes.

     ZZT includes a game editor so you can create your own game worlds using
a set of ready made objects.  You can also write small programs to control
objects using the built in ZZT-OOP programming language.

SPECIFICATIONS:

     ZZT requires a PC compatible computer with at least 512k RAM and any
graphics adapter with a color or monochrome screen.  Keyboard,  Joystick and
Mouse operation are fully supported.

HINTS:

 - When you discover a new object,  try touching it.  Nearly everything
   in ZZT has some sort of purpose.

 - Remember that you can often exit the room you are in by moving off
   the screen.

 - Save the game often.  Then if you get killed you can just restore
   the game and continue on without penalty.

 - Don't feel overwhelmed.  You can expect to play a total of about
   40 hours before you finish the game.  It is well worth the effort and
   you can always take your journey one step at a time.

NEED HELP?

      Some of the puzzles in ZZT are really tough,  but they can all be solved.
If you are really stuck on a board,  write to me describing your problem and
I'll send you a free hint sheet.
