Yes! ZZT was one of the first things I wrote code for, way back in
middle school. In fact, a few months ago I went back and replayed the
old original ZZT maps. It runs perfectly fine in DOSBox.
As far as alternatives, maybe Megazeux? It was written as a successor
to ZZT, and is now open-source and (theoretically) cross-platform.

Remember ZZT? I know it's not looney related, but it's been dying
out lately and I wanted to see how many people even knew it existed.
I enjoy ZZT for the same reason I enjoy many Looney games: It's
about doing cool stuff with simple tools.
For those who don't know, it's this old dos game that's all in
ascii, and you can go around and pick up keys and fight monsters and
all that stuff. Like nethack, but with a level editor. Yes, a built-
in, fully functional level editor. There's a whole community about
writing new levels and doing cool stuff with ZZT... which brings me
to the reason for this post. Has anyone here heard of ZZT before, or
know a better alternative?
