There are still people writing new games, games that are playable upon the same Infocom interpreter that was used to run Zork!

I wrote a CP/M emulator specifically so that I could play a trivial adventure game I wrote in Z80 assembly on Linux/Mac systems - so I should say that I prefer the infocom games.

However my favourite text-adventure is The Hobbit, the first such game I played on the ZX Spectrum back in the early eighties. Read about it in this two part piece:

Interviews with the author suggest I'm not the only one who got in touch, years later, to send her fan-mail. But I'm glad I did it regardless and very pleased she took the time to reply:
