The Summer Dualstream Day of Zeux 2001 was a Day of Zeux organised by Terryn and started July 6th, 2001 at 9PM GMT (ending the same time the next day). The topics were "Rebirth" and "Bloodthirsty Plants"; Terryn, Tixus, Thundercloud and wizdom judged while Omega handled number assignment.

This Day of Zeux is notable for several reasons:

  • This is the Day of Zeux which introduced the "Dualstream" format; before there were two mutually-exclusive topics assigned, hosts only gave out one.
  • There was a controversy around one of the submissions, called "Porno Creep", which created heated debate over the nature of games meant for slander.
  • MegaZeux Ak 1.0's forward-compatibility caused wizdom's results for two games to become invalid (he used MZX 2.51s3.2 to judge them). An argument on the worth of forwards compat broke out. (Side note: forward compat was left in until Exophase removed it in MZX 2.62)
  • This Day of Zeux introduced the trend of elaborate suxiT joke entries; Inuchance had made joke entries in past DoZs, but suxiT entries expended considerable effort.
  • The host was (for the first time in DoZ history) relatively new to the community; Terryn had only been in the community for little over a year when he announced this DoZ, while previous hosts had been in the community for at least two years.
