Hello
I would like to introduce a text based gcs called Ultra ZZT - not
quite a roguelike, but similar in several ways. This is actually a
clone of a DOS game released, I believe, in 1991 by Tim Sweeney
(designer of the Unreal Engine). Although the game when released was
behind its time already with the graphics, the game included a simple,
but fairly powerful scripting language, which lead to some cult
popularity.
I have tried to faithfully emulate the way Original ZZT behaves. I've
added several new features to the scripting language, such as int
storage, less than, greater than operators etc.
You can download the game here: http://www.oculos.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=UltraZZT_binaries
Currently only linux and win32 binaries have been built. I don't own a
Mac myself, so I don't know when I will be able to release a binary
for that system - the source code will be released when the game has
left the beta phase.
Note, you can download games for the original ZZT program here:

These games can be loaded in the UZZT editor
.
