So let's ger back to when you were first new to ZC. Where did you hear about this?

[Sharon Daniel]

I don't remember, but I think it was either Google or GameFAQs.com (the only forum I used to frequent before PureZC).

[SpykStorm]

When I first learned about ZC I was looking for "Zelda" downloads, so I typed in

Zelda Downloads

in the google search box then the first link that appeared said something like

The Official Home of Zelda Classic, Get latest ZC version hear!!!

And then I clicked on the "Donloads Page" at the ZC home page and downloaded ZC/ZQv2.10

A half-remembered ad that I thought about 3 months later.

I remember seeing that OoT remake that Dampe was doing way back when and hearing that he was using ZC... so I downloaded it! Later, I found out he was actually using RPG maker so it was a little ironic.

I had gotten Zelda Classic for my Daughter's Gameboy and was looking for maps for here and during my search I ran across AGN and found it. It wasn't till a while longer that I discovered Pure. I was on the search for music and ran across it there.

Ah yes the good 'ole days.

The Screen Savers(known as Attack of the Show! today) is what me find ZC. In fact, today you'll find that a lot of the members that were there at the time wishing that such attention would return to the program.

As for the episode, I want to say that it aired around October 14, 2004, if you want to see it.

Zelda Classic for GameBoy? Did I overlook something...?

I once discovered an earlier version of ZC (earliear than 2.10) on the family computer. I made a standard LoZ quest and didn't know that it has ANY internet references. The program got deleted somehow, but when I knew that I will get a laptop, I made a search and found AGN. When I got my laptop, I downloaded it. Since AGN didn't allow direct uploads from a computer, I needed a place to host my quests. Somebody offered PureZC for the job. I thought it was just a free filespace provider! Then I learned about things going on and the rest is history...

As for me, it was on the June 2005 Issue of EGM. There was an ad about Zelda Classic.

My brother found it like three years ago, and he told me about it. I messed around with it for maybe a month or two and then quit for half a year. I found it in one of my folders and decided to mess with it more, and that is when I figured out how to place items in different locations. For two years I messed with it until I am at the point I am now, attempting to upload a demo(the demo is beating me ).

I was looking around at random Zelda stuff on Google, and I found Nick's website. I got to www.zeldaclassic.com from there

Before PureZC, I used to hang out on WikiPedia all the time, looking at pages for Zelda, Sonic, Mario, etc. Somehow, I got to a list of video game clones/fan games, and Zelda Classic was one of them. I read the short description and thought, "This is sweet! I gotta get this!" So I clicked the external link to ZeldaClassic.com, and found the list of downloads. At first, I didn't know what was going on, so I downloaded ZC 1.00. Then I picked up 2.10. When I discovered the different available tiles, tilesets, etc., I let one of my friends (loser16) know about it. He clicked on the external links, which took him to PureZC, which had many more and infinitely better tiles, tilesets, etc. He told me about it, and I went there. When I wanted to upload a quest, I joined, and uploaded. Unfortunately, those were my n00b days, and my quest was deleted. However, I also wanted to rate quests, and I didn't know how. I found out from Shoelace that you had to make ten posts...

The story ends there, because that's how I found out about Zelda Classic and PureZC. You don't want a PureZC life story from me.

Zelda Classic for GameBoy? Did I overlook something...?

Just before DS came out, Gameboy Advance started releasing Nintendo classic games playable on the system.

Zelda was one of them.

[The Satellite]

In other words, the Nintendo Classic Series: The Legend of Zelda.

Ironic, I was going to do the same recently on RM2k3, but decided against it.

As for my encounter with ZC, I came across it while playing DFW's Meagman Torunament RPG (On RM2k3, if you're interested in trying it.), got one of the game discs for beating a tourney, and saw some screenies of her work. The shots sparked my interest, so I decided to try it in google, and viola! I found it and have been using it for quite some time now.
