I know it was a cross platform virtual machine, but Did it actually interpret byte code and not just text?

- chongli 4y agoYes. Z-machine specifies a table of 256 opcodes. Developers write code in ZIL (Z-machine Implementation Language), a text-based source code. The ZIL is then compiled into a byte code program consisting of those 1-byte opcodes as well as arguments and static data.
