Ooh, text adventures! Some suggestions:
If you haven't played any before, your first question may be: Why would I play a game made up just out of text? The IFComp is a good place to start. It really helps to what really talented people can do with the medium. Here are two worth playing:
1) Taco Fiction (http://ifcomp.org/comp11/play.php?id=201 http://ifcomp.org/comp11/play.php?id=201) and
2) Violet (http://jayisgames.com/games/violet/ http://jayisgames.com/games/violet/), both previous winners.
Inform7 is a very widely used tool for making IF now (http://inform7.com/ http://inform7.com/); I haven't played with it much, but from what I've seen, it does some really great stuff. It's a good way to get started writing your own games.
