Some additional games…
Deer Creek Deer Creek - The Homophones Adventure (aimed at children)
Scout’s Honour Scout's Honour (created in 2018, originally using one of the first versions of Adventuron)
A Troll’s Revenge A Troll's Revenge (part of CaveJam mentioned above, but no longer hosted on itch)

Adventuron is a great system for old-school text adventures.

Hi Gareth. Your Adventuron games are all listed on IFDB. Although its listings are far from complete, it’s a good first place to start looking.

As Adventuron matures and improves, it is also good for ‘new-school’ text adventures, too. With its updated parser, you can now do pretty much anything you can do in Inform, albeit with a little extra work.

I just added an ifwiki page for Adventuron, which might be a good “first port of call” for interested parties.

You might notice one of the games there Garry.

Very nice. I’ve had a lot of fun on the discord server just meeting new people. It seems like people are making good stuff. And this set of links makes sense out of a few things people mentioned but I hadn’t asked. (That’s more me triaging what to ask, instead of being scared to.)
