JUDGE COMMENTS:

$Zinfandel

 At last, in ZZT, you can pet the dog. This
board is really cute! It's a little hard 
to read the messages about dogpetting with
the repeating blank message at the bottom 
of the board, though, but that could 
easily be fixed.

 canyoupetthedog.zzt. Play with dogs in a
field, pick up purple key, avoid touching
white-on-grey text (for fun, imagine the 
last is the ZZT equivalent of getting
hives after being licked by a dog).

$Dr. Dos

 A dog and some more dogs to pet! There's
not much else to it, though one thing I 
enjoy about seeing people make things in 
ZZT who don't have a lot of exposure to a 
lot of ZZT worlds is their ideas of what 
ASCII character should represent 
something. "δ" ends up being a dog here 
because of that lack of exposure that 
makes it a de facto rule to mean snake! 
Neat.

 Neat little dog petting sim. Cute board, 
but doesn't do it for me. 
But it's not bad.
