Floppy disk Lost Treasures of Infocom - Updated

If you're reading this then maybe you're interested in text adventure games?
I've spent a bit of time shuffling the games around on the infocom disks to better use the space and i've managed to squeeze 4 more games into the original set of 6 disks. I always thought it a shame that a small number of games were not included in this collection, so i've made my own.
Code:
Seastalker
Wishbringer
A Mind Forever Voyaging
Hollywood Hijinx
In addition, i have created 2 more disks to add even more games. 6 more to be exact.
Code:
Bureaucracy
Cutthroats
Norb And Bert
Leather Goddesses Of Phobos
Plundered Hearts
Trinity
So it's now 8 disks totalling 30 games (original was 6 disks totalling 20 games)

I've done this for my own amusement and a project for DamienDs WinUAE collection, but i wonder if anyone else might be interested in this set of disks?
The first disk in the collection is the boot disk, loads a stub WB and has 6 games on it. Then all the other disks you just put them in and choose the game you want to play.
All the disks have the same disk icon, all the games have the same drawer icons. All the disks have been renamed (LTOI1, LTOI2 etc.) and all have had the icons and disk "snapshot" done.

Let me know if you'd like to have these and i'll upload. Cheers.

I just saw the Bureaucracy disk in my collection today. Are these packs for collation or were they missing games?

I like these sorts of games. Silmarils make some good games too!

None of the games are rare, i just put them all into one 8 disk set and matched the icons and disknames etc. Probably took me 10 times longer than anyone else could have done it.

The 8 disk set is uploaded to zone by request. Enjoy, any feedback is fine, let me know if i ballsed it up completely?

Sorry no, this was just a disk exercise, all files freely found on the webs.

i have 113 games by Infocom (5 of these ones are Status Line magazine) most of them complete of extra files like various book, letters, map, solution. So everything you can find online.
Of course it's not Amiga and games run with Winfrotz in gamebase front-end (yes, i love so much this front-end)
