By the way Adventure 500 is worth a look. Ostensibly another version of Willie Crowther's original it takes a very different path. You can download a Windows executable from the Renga in Blue Web site. It is also known as AdventP.

I've created some unofficial homepages for games I found on my hard drive that I downloaded at one point but can't easily find in the usual places. See Abandoned, Lost, Orphaned, and Missing IF Works.

Isn't pretty much every Infocom game included in this? Or am I incorrect?

Technically you could certainly argue that, though one could also argue that pirated versions were always available. So I don't hope users will flood this poll with Infocom games. I saw it as an opportunity to rediscover games I might forgot about because they were unavailable earlier. However, if some games have not been legally available for a long time but suddenly are legally available, such games fit this poll too. Officially, Infocom games are not public domain and only a few can be bought legally from stores.
