# The IF Archive

The IF Archive is the central site on the Internet for text adventures and related interpreters, compilers and other tools. The Archive has an unrivalled collection of material relating to text adventures, including something in the region of two thousand games.

Formerly at the FTP site ftp.gmd.de, it is now at the web site http://www.ifarchive.org/. The Archive is also still accessible through FTP, at ftp://ftp.ifarchive.org/if-archive/. You might also like to consider using one of the Archive's mirror sites, which are listed on the Archive's home page: depending on where you are, you might well find a mirror that responds faster than the main Archive site.

The Archive's main collection of Z-code games is in the games/zcode directory. Other sources of Z-code games include the annual IF Competition and the IF Art Show. Another site well worth a look is Baf's Guide to the Archive, which provides capsule reviews of a large number of the available games.
