|  They require a genuine disk drive.
These games (any Infocom game put out by Commodore) will not work on an emulator. They require the original hardware.
If you look at the directory of the diskette (or disk image), you will see that the program is only about 3 or 4 blocks long and the disk is otherwise empty. What you see is the loader program. The remainder of the program, as well as the data files, are direct-access to the diskette, which is not supported by emulators.
I have not tried to copy these to a real 1541 and run them, but if you need to know if that will work, I will try a couple.
