Interactive fiction- the best games.

If so I have played a few games like this and they were pretty engaging.
The best ones, IMO, are not multiple choice- they're actually interactive. You type in what to do, where to go, etc. You need to have patience for this kind of game, since you need to command it, and learn the commands that the game understands. Really good games will understand just about any command you make that's reasonable.

The multiple choice ones are just leading you through a story without you having to work. Try Anchorhead, which I linked in the OP. It's a killer story. If you like horror, it's really bleak and violent and disturbing.

If you get easily frustrated with difficult puzzles, these are not the games for you, but if you like mental challenge, they're awesome.
Here's a link to a shorter one (a sci-fi), Babel, that I really liked, although it does a bit more leading you through the story than I generally like.

Try them, people! They're fun and free, and they're not reliant on a quick thumb, but on thoughtfulness, patience, and problem-solving.
