Hi Shaun, Lol; in a way you do. Glulks is really the same format as .z5 or .z8 files. The difference is that glulks (.zblorb) games can incorporate sounds and are also used if your project gets exceptionally massive.

I started playing graphical games eventually getting some sfx to what some were thinks like comic, wolf 3d, duke1 and a few other things were what I played with till the net came out. It was then I learned about the rest of the stuff. The old gaming thing lasted till 2005 when my old dos system crashed. Now I don't even touch any zcode or external dos programs or agt stuff. Its hugo, glulx and tads though seriously with the need to navigate round games with my vertual curser I can't get as involved as I used to so audio is what I prefur. The first hybred I played was from a mojoinst disk called intergalactic battle An actual action screen for gameplay was graphical but everyting else was menu driven. .
