Original Infocom games are hard to find; only discount and surplus dealers
would have them now, and then only a smattering of titles for weird 
machinse. If you want the Infocom games, you can get the "Lost Treasures
of Infocom" series put out by Activision - vol. 1 has 20 games for a street
price around $45; vol. 2 has 11 games for somewhat less. There's also a 
CD-ROM package that I think has all the games for $55.
