ZZT! Eleven year old me was exposed to this game creation system over a decade after it was released (~2002), and when it was released in 1991 it was already "quaint". Coded by Tim Sweeney, whom you may know from Epic MegaGames/Fortnite today, it came with a rudimentary OOP scripting language and content creation system.

Hundreds and hundreds of hours, gone without a trace.

I gotta say I've never heard of this. Looks like an interesting game though!

The game it comes with isn't at all - the sheer variety of games that people managed to create with it is the real accomplishment. Mostly defunct now but 1991-2014 is a hell of a run.
