Is there a place to download the old Infocom games, or play them on the web somehow? HHGTTG was my favorite game, but I never played LGOP or MFV and would like to.

The Z-code images are up on IFDB: https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=4h62dvooeg9ajtfa

You can click the "play online" link or download the image and play locally with an interpreter like frotz.

Wow I found transcripts for Infocom games here (ClubFloyd) ! I've been looking for this for ages, thanks!

The Internet Archive is your first port of call. For some reason I can't get any of them to load in the browser, but all of the systems are emulatable locally.

All of them are available to download, and many to play in a browser. A Google search will do the trick.

There's a collection of some of them on Steam.

Or GOG if you prefer: https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_zork_anthology

I keep hoping that now that Microsoft owns all of Infocom's legacy they'll do some more interesting packs/anthologies again.

Also, it's not the kind of "platform seller, AAA modern stuff" that Xbox Game Pass is known for, but I still like to hope that if some of these games showed up on Xbox Game Pass for PC they'd accidentally blow up on Twitch somewhat the way old PBS shows like Bob Ross and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood did. Get a bunch of people playing old classic games they'd never think to try by making them "What's New on Game Pass" notable.
