===== Suspected lost =====

This table lists ZZT-related files that are not preserved, but have been mentioned in forum posts or magazines - however, without concrete proof as to their public existence or lack thereof.

Note that many of these games are known to have existed - for the purposes of these lists, I consider "proof" very literally.
