Yet another arcade game in Z-code, the least promising environment for arcade games ever developed. The author says it's based on Jezzball, which seems to be a variant on the old coin-op game Qix.

After looking at several of this type of program (SpaceInvaderz, SameGame and others), I have arrived at the conclusion that Inform isn't that good at games where quick movement is required. ZassBall is a nice demonstration of programming ability, but that is as far as it goes.

Although various interpreters were written to facilitate play and creation of interactive stories, it should be obvious that some people would find ways to write computer games using the various aspects of the interpreters.
