The problem I have with the site is that there is no selection of generally agreed-upon "good" IF games.  There are "competition" subdirectories from here: http://ifarchive.giga.or.at/indexes/if-archiveXgames.html but there don't seem to be competition winners or losers.
AllRoads.z5 is a winner of the 2001 IF competition . There are some brief mentions of other competition entries but yes I would prefer more specifics.

I enjoyed BSE, winner of the 1996 AU IF competition. It's a fairly gentle introduction to the genre and full of British (i.e. daft) humour.


Also, I'd recommend Emily Short's games. Not as funny, but endlessly fascinating.

A most excellent post, Moxie. Thanks so much!  I will now definitely play some IF again!
 
Varsågod :)

Be aware that Gargoyle doesn't only play Z-machine games (that is, Infocom/Inform games) - It also runs TADS, Level 9, Magnetic Scrolls and a bunch of others:
