Like Steve said, Z6's are rare because they had those little extra
things, but were still produced in a time of limited resources.

Glulx gives the ability to do all kinds of things now -- multimedia
sound, graphics, split panel windows, animation (very new), etc. But
these all require extra degrees of programming. So I wouldn't describe
it as super easy to reproduce these features, but that's how you do
them in the modern environment.
