I was a lurker on the IF scene when I was in college in the '90s. I had "gone retro" on the videogame scene and was not interested in next-gen games of the day, and so I tried out old computer games until I had stumbled upon Zork.
When I had asked whether Zork had been ported to Unix-based systems, somebody pointed me to the IF archive, and I ended up spending many happy hours in the computer labs doing the computer game equivalent of reading a book as opposed to watching television.
