Average member rating: (12 ratings)

You play as Elliott, a pig-boy. It starts when Granny Grabby orders you to get Mabel the duck down from the roof. You try, but a series of unfortunate events ensue ending with Mabel swallowing the diamond ring you planned to give to Suzette! You need to get that ring back, but how?

2. A Good Breakfast, by Stuart Adair (1997)

In this small game, you wake up late to the sound of the mail arriving. You remember last night's party; thankfully, you don't have a hangover. But you're positively starving! Get something to eat, and soon!

3. Got Toast?, by Jim Fisher (2000)
Average member rating: (5 ratings)
David Welbourn says:

In this fantasy game, you play as a broke guy who had a disappointing birthday. Instead of cash, all you got was an old toaster from your eccentric great great grandmother. You were hoping for money so you could make a homemade breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes, and syrup for your girlfriend as you promised.

4. Rippled Flesh, by Ryan Stevens (1996)
Average member rating: (2 ratings)
David Welbourn says:

In this "interactive goosing", you play as a balding middle-aged man who wakes up in a desolate room, remembering only the number forty, a seductive women [sic], a tropical drink, and darkness. Exploring, you seem to be in a veritable hotel of horrors. Perhaps there's some meaning behind it all, but really, you just want to find the exit.

5. The Bryant Collection
by Gregory Weir
(2009)
Average member rating: (8 ratings)

David Welbourn says:

In 2008, the author bought a strongbox at a yard sale. The box contained handwritten descriptions of storyworlds by Laura Bryant, a woman who somehow invented interactive fiction without ever using a computer. Fascinated, the author has transcribed five of these stories to Inform so you can explore and enjoy them as well. The stories are called "The End of the World", "Morning in the Garden", "The Tower of Hanoi", "Going Home Again", and "Undelivered Love Letter".

6. Stupid Kittens, by Marc Valhara (2000)
Average member rating: (17 ratings)
David Welbourn says:

In this bizarre game, you play as Fuzzles, a stupid kitten. In life, you will be tormented and killed by your owner, a girl named Karen, for the amusement of the internet. In the afterlife, you will be tossed about by offended deities until you're reincarnated in Jennifer Love Hewitt's house with a mission. It won't end well. (Caution: This game contains poop jokes.)

7. Puddles on the Path, by Anssi Räisänen (2003)

In this game where proverbs are magical spells, you play as an apprentice to Larumis the Sorcerer. After two years in his service, you're on the road home for a well-earned summer vacation when, through an iron gate in a stately stone wall, you see a mysterious garden. You forgot all about curiosity killing the cat.

8. Burnt Toast, by Josh Giesbrecht (2000)

In this small one-room game, you play as a woman whose hair spray made you shrink smaller and smaller! Thanks to the family parrot, you're now on the kitchen bench beside a now-huge toaster. Your only hope of rescue is the phone on the other side of an impassable sink full of dishes and green water.
