ZZT should most definently be on this site. Its abandoned, old and interesting because of its game editor. I really must insist that you guys add it! Puh-leese?

ZZT was released by Epic as freeware. I've seen it on a dosgame site.

We need official source and then it will be considered as freeware

Also in 1993, Epic released a sequel of sorts to ZZT, cleverly titled Super ZZT. The game flopped; while having a few interesting improvements on the original, it suffered from use of an ugly low resolution textmode and several severe bugs and limitations (and these could not be worked around as they were in ZZT). In 1999, Epic released ZZT as freeware.

However when the game became obsolete it became freeware, with all four worlds of the registered version released for free.

The full version, which has since been released as freeware, featured four different game "worlds" designed by Sweeney.

Now officially released as freeware, ZZT can be accessed by anyone

though i dunno, this is not "official", maybe they changed the status back?

edit: oh... look what i found http://www.epicgames.com/EpicClassics.html

Quote:

www.epicclassics.com is not affiliated with Epic Games Inc. They are selling some of our older titles by mail order only.

they are not neither official epic classics distributor, nor they hold rights to the games. i wonder how could they get "new copies" of the games legally?

Perfect, thanks

since its Freeware. It will not be on Abandonia but on Reloaded.

i disagree.
this is a game that once was abandonware and then released freeware because it was simply old- abandonned

it's not some junky game or remake made by fans. it's official payware title from epic megagames

*Dave* · 21-01-2009, 06:23 PM

Well yes, we consider Old-Freeware as abandonware.
It can be inserted both here and on reloaded.

_r.u.s.s. is correct. Formerly commercial titles which were later released as Freeware are acceptable for Abandonia.

Further, since it was officially released as Freeware then whether it is still sold, supported or protected becomes a non-factor.
