The IF Archive
A repository for freeware and shareware IF games, authoring systems, interpreters, library modules, and related material. This does not include Infocom products and other games for which the rights still belong to a business, unless permission has been granted to distribute them.
For a number of years before moving to its current location, the IF Archive was maintained at gmd.de, and some older websites and information will still refer to that site, though it is no longer current.
Links

- Baf's Guide is a good front-end to the archive. Baf's Guide also provides mini-reviews, a rating system, categorizations by genre, and more.

- Home of the Underdogs is a large archive of many computer games, including IF. Click "Interactive Fiction" in the Genre navigation bar.
