I also use ADRIFT occasionally. It's the only half-decent engine I've found, honestly.
Brilliant, just to play, or do you write as well? I think I only ever published one game, back in the day, called Crazy Old Bag Lady
It's still out there, and still buggy...

Have you tried Zork?
There's always the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game. It's absolutely unkind at times, but it's fun too.

Icome back to the HHG2G game every couple of years, it's wonderfully frustrating! For the first year or so I didn't make it past the babel fish puzzle...
I never gave Zork a fair go, to be honest, I might have to give it a try again.

A Mind Forever Voyaging. It's one of the few text adventures that really engrossed me. Beautifully written, awesome storyline.
That sounds great, can you link to it?

Hm.... I can't remember the name of this one, but I think it's called Bureaucracy. You play a businessman with a new company trying to solve loads and loads of problems, and you have a blood pressure meter. Everytime you type something the engine can't recognize ("You can't PUNCH THAT SUCKER IN THE FACE ALREADY") or something stressful happens in the game, your BP goes up and if it goes too high you get a stroke and die.
The game is always funny, right from the beginning, where you fill a form that scrambles your choices, changes your gender, etc.
Hahaha sounds like an IF writer I know... if you find it, let me know, I want to see if I'm right!
I'd like to recommend the PK girl to you. It's an adventure game with elements of Japanese dating sim, and I find it endlessly fascinating. It's HUGE. There are so many different routes to take, I'll never get tired of it. It's an ADRIFT game, but it's well worth downloading the system for this game alone.
