the alternatives would prob be:

inform 7

tads

with inform 7 being what is most used and has a cool help system built in that serves as a manual with examples you can plug right into your game and mess around with

At least some of Infocom's games required included items called 'feelies' in order to be beaten as a form of copy protection. Here's all the feelies.

And if we're posting links to the games themselves, here's an alternate site for them with games missing from the OP's link.

I remember back about nine or ten years ago Emily Short and some others tried to revitalize feelies, and created a website where you could order cool stuff for modern IF. They would work with authors to create cool physical items for their games reminiscent of Infocom's stuff.

Unfortunately the website and the service went down after a couple of years.
