defined by realism: no verb- or sitch-guessing, or fatal bugs or
tricks, but no compromises on what the player must know. So Zork,
Curses, and GC are out (Magic Toyshop way out); Christminster and Lost
New York are in. Hmm, I guess this means the games need a plot.

_A Change in the Weather_ springs instantly to mind. Perhaps also
_So Far_; I don't know whether you'd call that a puzzlefest.

More of an angst-fest. It's the IF equivalent of some great,
unknown song by The Smiths. ;)

It seems that you have a tolerance for frustration that's way beyond my
own. I found "A Change in the Weather" and "Christminster" to both be
impossible. Both killed the fun for me about five minutes into the game
when the weed-out puzzle showed up. I'd recommend "Fine-Tuned" as a
much more enjoyable game, but it's probably not difficult enough for
you. Maybe Anchorhead?
