I got something called 'Kingdom of Kroz' recently - reasonably fine, I
thought, although  a bit too fast on 386 boxes.

Frac - the three-dimensional tetris from Simsalabim software is also
very fine. Didn't this appear on cbip not long ago? Might not be CGA,
though.

The recent posting of the TEGL demo on cbip contained several good games,
including a 'cute' Monopoly. Again I can't swear as to CGA.

Since the demise of Infocom, some of their old text adventures appear
to be sold off rather cheaply by various retailers. If you can get any
of this, do.  It's not PD/Shareware, but it's very good nevertheless
:-)

Hope this is of any help,
