Is there a modern dev kit to make text adventure games for the Commodore 64?
Like I know someone ported the zork engine to the pet so there are ports of the
infocom games.
Any ideas?

Seconding the Dizzy recommendation: Codemasters banged these
action-adventures out by the dozen, and they're all surprisingly good
despite being formulaic. Once you've played through all the Dizzy games,
there are all the Seymour games too.
There's even a Slightly Magic re-spin on Steam!
To get the full Codemasters experience, you've got to load from tape, 'cos
that's how they were sold:

The games that started this whole budget genre was probably David Jones's
"Finders Keepers" for Mastertronic.
