Mobile text adventures
I stumbled upon ZeeMe which is a Java ME application that enables you to play Z-Code (Infocom and third-party) compatible text adventure games on your mobile.
The interpreter didn't handle the input field too well (I had to scroll down to see it all the time), but at least you'll get a feel for what kind of games people played in the 70's.
A mini version of Zork I (one of Infocom's blockbuster games at the time) is included, and with ZeeMe Packager you can build new games based on combining Z-Code games with ZeeMe. See e.g. IF Archive for lots of free games.
