This is amazing! I remember playing some of these in the 90s. Fond memories.

BTW, this site is likely not set up to handle a HN hug of death of downloads so consider throttling your downloads if you can.

A Mind Forever Voyaging was the first time I ever realized that video games could aspire to more than just being a fun pastime or distraction.
I really liked AMFV, probably because I was never great at the puzzles. I don't think it was a super-popular game because a lot of the fam base probably largely played the games for the puzzles. But one of my favorites and actually completed it without help.
In many ways it was a forerunner of the sort of adventure game today that is called (originally as an insult, but the genre has later embraced the term) "walking simulators", in which the player simply explores an environment without solving puzzles or fighting monsters (or at least not very often).
