Hello,
True about Infocom, extensive collections of all their games are easily found, on github, other places.
But, perhaps, I'm just not that in love with Infocom. Every time I begin an Infocom game, I don't have a great time, the famous ones are hard like Hitchhikers, the ones that are meant to be funny I don't find funny. I know, they've made - surely - something for me, too, something easy like Wishbringer... maybe some day.
Everyone starts Zork, very few people complete Zork... I've even written my own 'There's a mailbox" game before, via Adventuron. (It was decent, too, according to my students.)
IFDB.org I use sometimes to search... surely they have the goods, maybe just my Search-fu is not good. It reminds me a bit of rpgmaker.net . You tell yourself, the riches that you can find here will make it worthwhile wrangling the UX that's still stuck in its emo phase in 2005.
But yes, thank you, and 'will go search, 'will find more things that fit the bill for sure.
*But, after consideration, I wish to stick with my opinion that .z3, and nothing but that, is not the easiest to find.*
