This is because Zshell was made to run on the TI-85 which has different
addresses for where memory is located, and specific places on the
hardware.  The TI-86, due to it's excess of memory and other things,
such as how ZShell was written cannot run these games.  True, the only
thing that would have to be done is to have the code modified to compile
for the TI-86, but it is a bit tedious.
