Hi, I'm new here, but not really new to IF (started playing since four, five
years ago) I'm looking for good ones to play, any suggestions? I'm looking
for ones like "Kissing the Buddha's Feet" and "Everybody Loves A Parade",
you know, funny and sarcastic, and allows you to fool around with various
objects?

Janitor
Guess the verb!
Arrival, or Attack of the B-Movie Clichés
Perdition's Flames
Till Death Makes a Monk-Fish Out of Me!
Beat the Devil
Yes, Another Game with a Dragon!
Narcolepsy
Phlegm

Hmmm, seems funny games often have exclamation points in the title. You
might also try The Frenetic Five series, though I never got very far with
those games.

John's Fire Lich is very similar in style to Kising the Buddha's Feet. I would
also likme to recommend Brian Uri's Augmented Fourth, a light humoristic
fantasy puzzle, romp which I personally think is the funniest IF game I have
ever played.

It's John's Fire Witch.
