     Be sure to check Ground's stuff. Also see GS Worldview's archive; it has
improved versions of several Text classics (like Lost Dutchman, Cyborg, ...).

     You can find links to Ground and GSWV and several other good game archives
in the FAQs at http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/A2FAQs7GAMESITES.html .

     If you have an Apple IIgs, then you can access a couple hundred Text
adventures including most of ifarchive's adventures and practically all of the
Infocom adventures via ...

http://apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/Sel/InfocomTypeGames3.htm .

     And, if your IIgs has a CD-ROM drive, you'll definitely want to get the
Eamon CD: http://apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/Sel/EamonCDships.htm .


     You mentioned already having Asimov's adventure directory. If you mean
just the games in
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/adventure/ , then, you are
missing bunches of stuff which is sure to include additional Text adventures. 

     One good collection is the one from the 202 Alliance. You can find a
listing of titles and links at ...

http://apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/Sel/The202collection.html .


     Don't recall ever coming across a comprehensive listing of Text Adventures
that run on Apple II computers-- I'm pretty sure there isn't one.

     You can find a good listing of classic games on The Giant List site at ...
