Lemme think:  Overall best:  Zork III or Bueraucracy

Hardest:  Spellbreaker
Best written text:  AMFV?
Best puzzle:  Babel fish
Best "scene":  Floyds death.
Best red herring:  Lamp in Planetfall
Honory mentions:  Planetfall.  Spellbreaker.

Boy, this is so hard.  I mean, I loved them all.  Or most, anyway.

Ah well, watch the flames come in.
