DESCRIPTION.

     ZZT is a new action/adventure game based on object-oriented programming.
To complete Town of ZZT,  you must master 43 game boards filled with creatures
and ingenious puzzles.  The game is very challenging and requires 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 has
   some sort of purpose (but watch out for red herrings!)

 - 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 ZZT a total of about
   20 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 hint.  Unlimited user support!
