Where can I find an old type of computer game......??

Question

I used to play these in the early 80's. You would type in text and the computer would show you a particular picture and give you some text about where you are. You would then have the option to pick things up, walk around, etc by typing in what you wanted to do....

Does anyone know what type of fantasy games these are? And if so where can I find them?

I want this for a gift for someone soon - so please help if you can.

Thanks.
