There are tons (I believe hundreds) of Eamon disks on the ftp.gmd.de 
Interactive Fiction ftp site.  look around in ftp.gmd.de in if-archive/

Note there's also tons of other great games there, such as games which
use the same format as the Infocom games (and *compilers* to produce such
games) that you can then play on basically any computer that Infocom 
wrote an interpreter for, or compile the existing freeware interpreters.

I ported ZIP, one interpreter, to the GS years ago, and will some year finish
my port of Frotz if some Evan guy ever sends me the source he's already ported.
(His uses GUI, mine would be text mode.)


Note, the stuff on if-archive is all legit, compared to all that stuff on that
place named after the sci-fi guy.
