Some fun links:

http://www.forkexec.com             which hosts online text adventures
http://www.rickadams.org/adventure/ the homepage of Adventure
http://infodoc.plover.net/          infocom documentation project.

Getting hold of Infocom games isn't easy these days, but I have a few myself
in zcode format. There is a wonderful site http://www.latz.org/infocom/ that
used to have them all until someone noticed :(
