Play This Thing!
9:05 is a tiny game, and everyone interested in interactive fiction should play it at least once.

Besides being very short, one of the especially notable qualities of this game is that it encourages replay. After you've played through the game at least once, you'll understand what I mean by this. An enjoyable and surprising game and just right for a casual game audience.

Great for beginners and veterans alike, October 20, 2007
Another Day in the Life, January 2, 2008You wake up in bed, ready to go to work. Yes, just an another day in the life... but this very short game has an interesting twist at the end. Replaying is a must.
I recommend this piece, mainly because it's going to take less than 9 minutes and 5 second of your time to enjoy it. I give it only 3 stars out of 5: even a funny joke just doesn't ascend to the same heights as a great story.
Small packages, November 12, 2008It takes only minutes to play and will have you laughing out loud (my wife must have thought I was mad). The initial playing will leave you wanting more. I promise.

No whimsy here by lobespear
Too many games use lazy high fantasy and sci-fi settings. Escapism? What are you escaping from? Here are some games that instead use interactive fiction to comment on the real world. No whimsy here.
IF for a laugh by Maze
A list of games that will make you laugh. Most of them are very short, but there are a few longer ones. The order is in term of *laughs*, top to bottom.
Polls
The following polls include votes for 9:05:Artistic Games by WriterBob
I'm interested in games that take the fiction of IF to new levels. These are not straightforward, plot driven games. Think instead of games that play like poetry, or games that focus on a character's revelation.
