The IF Archive

The IF Archive is the central site on the Internet for text adventures and related interpreters, compilers and other tools. The Archive has an unrivalled collection of material relating to text adventures, including something in the region of two thousand games. Formerly at the FTP site ftp.gmd.de, it is now at the web site http://www.ifarchive.org/.

The Archive's main collection of Z-code games is in the games/zcode directory. As the archive contains many hundreds of games, finding one to play can be daunting: a site that aims to help with this is Mike Roberts' Interactive Fiction Database, which provides information and reviews of games in the IF Archive.
