Randomly found this just now. A little something from the game ZZT...

What means Xyzzy, and is there a Wonderland game called ZZT?

Eh... In Wonderland Adventures the shop has a xyzzy with a really huge price that is impossible to get. Same thing with MOFI, but not for sale.

Is that a sort of a cheat-code that you can skip to a next level? At least, when I searched on Wikipedia I found such about it.

I played MOFI for about halfway, but xyzzy didn't look familiar to me tough.

The "Xyzzy" is referenced once in either of the Wonderland Adventure games.

Original WA: The shopkeeper has a Xyzzy for sale at an impossibly high price.
MOFI: The boomer "Ka-Ching!" has a Xyzzy for sale as well.

He only has it for sale when you tell him you will pay a lot of coins for it.

Ok, what what does it mean? What can you do with it? Is it something like the colored glove things?

I heard that it was an item used by Patrick to test his NPC's dialogue. However, the item is in neither of the games, it's fake.

In a midnight post, it says a xyzzy is actually a reference to another game. :wink:
