I don’t imagine I’m telling the IFDB Committee Chair anything new, but of potential interest in general:

Ultimately any z3, z5, z8, or glulx game (in or out of a blorb) that has a direct download URL is playable online via iplayif if you make the URL yourself by just adding the game URL to
http://iplayif.com/?story=, e.g.,

http://iplayif.com/?story=https://ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/zcode/old/curses-r10.z3

though if the suffix doesn’t indicate the filetype, you’ll have to further add one of:

  • &vm=zvm [z5/z8]
  • &vm=gnusto [z3]
  • &vm=quixe [glulx]
