This is amazing, and I am incredibly glad someone has put in the legwork to see this to fruition. I spent hours with it as a kid, both with it and its unofficial successor Megazeux.
ZZT was a fun game creation system out of the box, but what always impressed me was some of the stuff that the community managed to come up with - mostly documented in the ZZT encyclopedia series as well as the Super Toolkit. It pushed the engine far beyond the limits of what it was intended for, and some the projects done with it absolutely blew my mind.
It was unfortunate that the source was lost, and for a long time the best you could do, aside from DOSbox, were projects like DreamZZT which, while admirable, didn't accurately emulate all of the peculiarities that many games relied on. But now this exists. Thank you.
