 I am too young to have hit the main text-adventure days of yore, but I can still vouch for Frotz thanks to the coders of today: there are many, many new text adventures. It's even easy to code your own! I can't really vouch for the Linux version's front-end thingy, as I've only used the Windoze version of Frotz, but it's the content of the games that really counts.

 Having just finished playing through Half-Life (a really wonderful should-not-be-missed game for Another O/S), I felt the need for a complete change of pace from cutting-edge 3D violence for awhile, so I downloaded Frotz, dove into the back of my closet and emerged with circa-1990 copies of Zork I and Leather Goddesses of Phobos on the original 5.25 inch floppies (I found Deadline for the Atari 800 too while I was in there. Man, Infocom had some cool packaging!). After another closet expedition for a 5.25 inch drive and a brief foray into my PC to install the drive, I finally managed to get the Zork1 data file copied. Unfortunately the Leather Goddesses disk is toast. Frotz played Zork flawlessly for me, just like Back in the Day. And it gets extra coolness points for having a Palm Pilot port available too.
