You could try http://www.if-legends.org/~adventure/. It's not ideally laid out if you're just looking for a quick list of games, but it seems fairly comphrensive. There are also a few links to other Infocom sites, although you've probably seen them already. Keep us posted on your site

Cool Border Zone

Are you talking Infocom on the Amiga, or on any computer? Because Border Zone wasn't released on the Amiga.

Right at the moment I´m talking of all Computer Systems and I want to get all Infocom games covered on my site, so not only Amiga

I´m only searching for the original, uncracked Versions, without Intro, Cracktro or changed Bootloader (whatever). I´m not sure, wether they were protected or not, but the versions I have mostly have some Cracker Copyright in it ! Anyway, if you got some original Dumps, I would be glad to get them

I have never ever played an Infocom game. Have I missed some great games? I remember them being very popular in the '80s.
