Puzzle game recommendations

(And I expect this to post about six times.)

(Mostly for GL people, but I can't be bothered to figure out what my password is over there, and wouldn't know which forum to put things on that are discussions of puzzles but not puzzles themselves)

So, um, anyone know of good (Preferably free) puzzle games in the style of Cliff Johnson, besides those of Cliff Johnson and Andrew Plotkin? For some reason, I can only seem to get anywhere with the ones where the game is just a framework for the divers puzzles that provides flashing lights, colors (Except in Fool's Errand, of course. :)), and more puzzles for solving the puzzles.

A puzzling site I enjoy is http://www.janko.at/Raetsel/index.htm
But it is in German, but I think there are some english parts.


EDIT: At The bottom of the page are some links to English sites.

go to freetranslation.com, you can translate a webpage but i tried translating on of the puzzels and due to the german word order and the literal translation found it difficult to understand.

No, I've got plenty of sources for unrelated puzzles, I was thinking something more along the lines of the works of Cliff Johnson. (You
must
play 3 in Three. There is no alternative.) But a little Googling suggests his stuff might be almost unique.

Well, I finally made a breakthrough in Praser 5, no thanks to you guys, so I'm cool for now.

Were you using the online version? You can't save with that one, as it mentions elsewhere on that page.

Wait, you're saying I would have had to read something right in front of me to get my answer? Well, screw that.

Try Crimson Room. You have to try to get out of the room.

Yeah, I've seen Crimson Room before. It's an okay use of a few minutes. Not a big fan of pixel-hunting, personally.
