Z.G. Pocket
While not necessarily games, the Z.G. Pocket did have a number of programs and assets designed to make office work more efficient. In order of release:
- ZG Writer (1992)
- ZG Presenter (1992)
- ZG Creativity Studio (1992)
- ZG ClipArt Pack (1993)
- ZG Assembler (1994)
- ZG Assembler Pro (1995)
- ZG Assembler Pro+ (1998)
- ZG Mailer (1999)
A simple word processor. If the user owns a Z.G. Dock, it is also compatible with any PS/2 compliant keyboard. Documents written in ZG Writer are viewable using any standard text viewing app in Windows 3.0 or later.
An easy-to-use presentation creator, compatible with Windows 3.0 through ZG Viewer and later ported to Windows 9X systems. By using the Z.G. Dock, you can connect the Z.G. Pocket to a display presentations directly on a larger screen.
This app, while not quite as featured as its sequel (see below) is still a rather capable art and drawing tool. By exporting the files in proprietary .zga files, they can be used in both ZG Writer and ZG Presenter.
A pack of pre-made .zga compatible clipart pieces for use with ZG Writer and Presenter.
A programming language and IDE similar to QBasic, meant as a tool for independent developers to create apps for the ZG Pocket.
An upgraded version of ZG Assembler, with support for C++.
The final version of ZG Assembler, with support for markdown languages like HTML and CSS. Ported to Windows 9x in 1999 alongside ZG Mailer.
A robust E-Mail service, including a unique threads feature for private conversations, much like an instant messaging application. Originally intended for use on the ZG Pocket, but instead later released on Windows 9x machines due to significant delays. Most well-known for its continued internal use at ZG, Inc.

This simple arcade strategy game is a total blast! Brutus must shoot multicolored fruit and match three to keep the evil blobs away from his dam. Play for a high score!
Oh no! Patty's lost her way in the Pumpkin Patch again! Navigate him through the maze and guide her safely to the exit. With 12 increasingly difficult levels to go through, Patty's got his work cut out for him.
More of a program than a game, the ZG Creativity Studio 2 is developed with the "artiste" in mind. Take and Edit photos using the ZanyCam accessory (included), draw, make music, and, most importantly, have fun!
Explore the mesmerizing world of science with Dorothy! Drop chemicals from the top and let them fall. Match 3 of a kind and watch the crazy chain reactions! Don't let the chemicals overflow, and play for a high score.
Fly through space with Christine on this 2D shoot-'em-up adventure! Blast the evil aliens trying to take over the world and save the day! As each level gets increasingly more difficult, you must be vigilant, accurate, and fast. Do your best, Space Cadet!
A new version of ZG Assembler, which keeps the C++ and Basic modes, now features a no-code-required 2D platformer creator. Create your own custom sprites, generate codes so you can share levels and programs with friends, and compete in programming competitions.
A follow-up to the popular Indie Panda: Adventure, Indie must once again scour the world and uncover 8 magical pizza slices! This time, though, he has a friend! Meet Batricia T. Nagel. She can fly, and bring Indie with her! Save the day, collect the magical pizza slices, defeat the bosses protecting them, and host the best birthday party ever!
