I have tried to get thru Wishbringer by Infocom but I have not had the ability to complete it.

I remember liking WestfrontPC, which I found back in the days of win98. It was kinda like Zork, but had a better interpreter. The story wasn't terrible, but I don't remember much. Anyone else remember that one?

Mulldoon Legacy maybe fits as a lesser-known large-scale puzzlefest. I didn't finish it, but thoroughly enjoyed what I played of it. Among the better-known old-school games, I'd particularly recommend Trinity and Curses.
i like interactive fiction. there is a website called ifdb that catalogs a bunch of interactive fiction past and present. also, there is some cool interactive fiction tools like twine and inform7.

Years ago, when my daughter expressed intetest un zork, I set her up to play on my Apple 2. She only lasted a couple of minutes due to the 15KHz buzz of the monitor (I was already too old to hear it)
Does anyone out there like playing old text based adventure games? I grew up playing Zork with my parents and I've probably sunk more time into drawing maps and writing myself walkthroughs than the full playtime of most other games I've played. Do any of you have any lesser-known text based adventure games you recommend?
