I think I was about 11/12 when I first started making/playing them and this is really taking me back. Calmness was definitely one of my favourites.

Stilted controls, random AI, lots of other common problems come to mind.

Still, it’s an interesting subculture (and I didn’t even get to the ZZT-only stuff this time) and a cool part of gaming history.

Man, I’ll have to do Door games sometime thinking of telnet interfacing. Maybe next summer or something.

I don’t mind telnet interfaces, I’ll download the most primitive of roguelikes. But ZZT, man…zzt…
