A lot of the old Infocom games are abandonware apparently, I'm sure I managed to get a free copy of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream and The Lurking Horror. For modern ones though, there are some running on that HTML-based system, Twine, which are worth looking at. People are doing some quite esoteric things as shown here. In terms of more traditional z-code IF, download an interpreter and play Photopia as an entry point. There are literally millions, all free, all about 5kb, and all worth a shot.WorKid wrote:Would be delighted if anyone could recommend some good modern text adventures.

I still am - to point where I requested to be on the beta dev kit list to see if I could cobble something together. Got my "acknowledgement / we are over subscribed" email and have heard nothing since - must be well over a year ago now.
