WinFrotz is a Windows port of a Z-Machine emulator, which can play both the original Infocom and new homebrewed text adventures. Some of the non-Infocom adventures (like the Scott Adams series) are also out there, or you can dig up the original ROM images and an Apple II or Commodore 64 emulator to go with them.

The only text-based game I've contributed directly to is Zangband, a spinoff of Angband, which is a spinoff of Moria, which is a spinoff of Rogue. Hack -> NetHack is the other major fork among roguelike adventure games.

Or there's a little something I created many years ago... viewing source is cheating.
