20 of the original Infocom games, as well as Zork II, can be found
in Lost Treasures of Infocom.
If you are desperate, you might want to try hunting down an old game
site (for c64, apple ][, or other) in the big list of ftp sites
posted occasionally to news.answers and see if there is a version
for one of those types of computers. You can then just use the data
file along with any Z-machine interpreter. Interpreters can be
found on ftp.gmd.de, probably /if-archive/infocom/interpreters or
something like that and look for ZIP...
