T-zero (Text adventure)
Nathan Glasser
On nic.funet.fi in the file /pub/msdos/games/adventure/tzero.zoo is the game
t-zero. The version is 1.04. According to the documentation file included with
the game, there is supposed to be a hints file called HINT.DAT included with
unregistered (as well as registered) versions of this game 1.04 and later.
This file is used by the hint feature of the game which gives hints when
requested. The file is not included.
I have not been able to find this game on any other internet site.
Archie lists only this one. Does anybody else have the hint file
that belongs with this game?
Thanks,

Dispite what the documentation says, in the game itself, it says that you have
to be registered to get the Hint file. This I tend to believe instead of some
easily alterable text file that comes with the game.
THIS IS A REALLY GOOD GAME. It does have a very different style to the infocom
adventures though.

I'm the person who uploaded the program to nic.funet.fi. I created the
zoo archive from a disk I received dircetly from the official British
distributor of the game. While it is possible that I've managed to
lose a file, I don't think it's very probable. I'll inquire, though.
