For those who have a taste for games of this nature, you should probably
check out the Interactive Fiction Archive, if you haven't already done so.
It has a fair number of these games available in .dsk emulator format for
free download, along with authoring systems and user-written games that will
run on interpreters that are available for practically every hardware
platform.

Check it out at :  ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive
