It&#x27;s kind of neat to consider &quot;the last copy&quot; of software. The internet trains us to think of software as ephemeral, but eventually this disk will perish in a fire, and it turns out nobody can find that zip file they made of it 20 years ago, and any shareware FTP dumps have long since 404&#x27;d.<p>Maybe some day there will be an e-Indiana Jones, hacking his way into servers booby-trapped with archaic malware, looking for a copy of Pong.

It&#x27;s sad the ZZT community is almost completely dead. Not sure if the sad part is &quot;dead&quot; or &quot;almost&quot;.<p>An end of an era.
