 '''Z-code''' is an [[Interactive Fiction]] (IF) file format. A Z-code file contains a series of instructions for the Z-machine, a virtual machine designed by Infocom. A Z-code file typically contains an IF game which can be played using a Z-code interpreter. It is sometimes referred to as Infocom format. There are eight versions of Z-code. The first six were created by Infocom, while versions 7 and 8 were created by Graham Nelson, the author of [[Inform]]. Version 6 supports sound and images.
 Text within a Z-code file is represented using the specialized character encoding [[ZSCII]], a variant of [[ASCII]] that is encoded for compactness and a bit of obscurity (nothing resembling normal ASCII strings is visible in a raw dump of a file, making it harder to cheat in games by seeing descriptions this way).
