ZZTUnder WorldPak

ZZT isn't much fun without any worlds to play. You can, of course, build your own worlds using the built-in editor, KevEdit, or ZZTAE, but that's no fun until you've played a few worlds first. The ZZT Under World Pak is a collection of some of the greatest worlds available. From Tim Sweeney's classic Town of ZZT to Chronos' ChronoWars series, this release is packed with plenty of ZZT goodness.

• Anthologies
