- Supports all modern Z-machine games (versions 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and zblorb files)

- Quetzal support, so saves are portable to and from many other zmachine apps
- Healthy color terminal support on windows and linux
- Run games straight from the web by passing in a URL
- A major focus was "feel." Lines scroll in like it's the 80s.
- Doesn't support mid-input interrupts
- No character font
