by Andrew Schultz - 33 votes for 24 games, last vote on January 9, 2024; created on April 7, 2015

"Lots of games have one amusing death, but what games best take the concept and run with it? These deaths could be nudges on messing something up, or even better, or even a nice reward for a reader who is playing attention and notices a..."

For Your Consideration: Games from 2014 that should be nominated for the XYZZY Awards

by Molly - 57 votes for 43 games, last vote on April 12, 2015; created on March 15, 2015

Games Theoretically but not Practically Beatable on First Attempt

Should Glulx IF be described as 'for all systems'?

by Sheogorath - No votes; created on November 13, 2014

"Several years ago, the only systems you could put a 'terp on were PC, Mac, and Linux computers, but with the advent of the smartphone, 'all systems' has grown by 100%, if not more. That's why I believe that only TADS3.1 (without WebUI)..."

Fun Halloween Games!

by bluevelvetwings - 15 votes for 11 games, last vote on August 22, 2022; created on October 14, 2014

"There are already polls for good horror games, and there are quite a few good ones on this site. But I'm looking for ones that fit the side of "spooky" but not "terrifying" - things that make you giggle nervously at the scares, but don't..."

"What games do you find yourself revisiting from time to time, games that have proven to be a kind of comfort-food of text adventuring, the warm old socks of parser and puzzle, the socks-full-of-comfort-food of overextended metaphor? What..."

IF with a sense of wonder

by blue/green - 50 votes for 24 games, last vote on January 9, 2024; created on July 17, 2014

"What interactive fiction would you recommend that evokes a sense of wonder? These could be games that capture wonder or beauty in ordinary things, perhaps by viewing the world through the eyes of a child. Or they could be games that..."

Best Steampunk games

by Alyssa Barstow - 19 votes for 6 games, last vote on January 16, 2017; created on June 20, 2014
