Sorry to say but programs like Defender and Zork are WAY to big to fit into even a 16k Eprom, ZORK is 75kb with a 9kb loader big which is one of the smallest Infocom games. Minizork is 51kb with a 8kb loader.
There are rom external boards that plug into a 50 way (that needs fitting) but again they only take 8kb roms and for the early Series 1 units. There is no floppy or HD controller onboard these units, so yes one could be designed I'm sure to handle a CF or SD or USB to plug into its 50 way port with boot rom in place of the Telcom (Network) rom maybe. So there lies a challenge
Your system has a Floppy controller onboard, just plug a Gotek in and you can be running what ever within seconds.
