You'll need DOSBox to run it, since AGT was never updated past 16-bit, but Cosmoserver is a fun oldie. You play as a freelance plumber and programmer trying to log on to his computer, find a fix for his program, and eat something before he passes out. The bulk of the game takes place on a simulated BBS system that is Totally Not Compuserve, though the clock is always running and things happen whether you're there for them or not- so you have to play through a few times, figure out what happens when, and chart the best course through the game.

Necrotic Drift features graphics and sound and is about a group of losers stuck in a mall infested with various undead D&D monsters.

I dunno if it's got any better since, but back around the time INFORM 7 was new the documentation was mostly "here's a couple of sample games, figure it out yourself", which was especially funny given that it was being promoted as a natural language system that was easy to use.
