Thanks for this ... v. interesting.

Haven't played all of the games listed (I _really_ need to play A
Moment of Hope to find out what people found objectionable), but
I'll take a stab at some unifying features, which may serve as some
kind of starting point. Here goes nothing =)

> Anchorhead:
> + Babel
> - Chicks Dig Jerks
> + Varicella
> + Worlds Apart
Stab: Consistant Narrative Structure

> Babel:
> + Anchorhead
> + Enlightenment
> + So Far
Stab: Strong (?self-consistant?) Imagery

> Bad Machine:
> + I-0
> + Little Blue Men
Stab: Replayability (Large number of endings)

> Beat the Devil:
> + Enlightenment
> + Winter Wonderland
Stab: Puzzle Variety and length (Hence not Curses, Mulldoon, etc)

> Chicks Dig Jerks:
> - Anchorhead
> + Enemies
> + Moment of Hope, A
> - Worlds Apart

> Curses:
> + Jigsaw
Stab: Style and Length (But why not Mulldoon?)
AlternateStab: "I was a groupie for an Oxford Mathematician"

> Day for Soft Food, A:
> + For a Change
> - Moment of Hope, A
> + Sunset Over Savannah
Stab: Tone/Rhythm of language

> Death to My Enemies:
> + Frenetic Five vs. Sturm und Drang, The
Stab: Off-the-wall humour (why not Sins against Mimesis?)

> Enlightenment:
> + Beat the Devil
> + Exhibition
> + Mulldoon Legacy, The
> + Muse: an Autumn Romance
> + Not Just a Game
> + Winter Wonderland
Hmm ... Strong positive vector
Stab: Two types - Detail (Exhibition, Muse), and Puzzlers

> Jigsaw:
> + Curses
> + Losing Your Grip
Stab: Chunking (Why not Spider and Web? Relative Freedom?)

> Moment of Hope, A:
> - Aisle
> + Chicks Dig Jerks
> - Day for Soft Food, A
> - Ralph
> - Shrapnel
> - Sunset Over Savannah
> - Varicella
> - Worlds Apart
Hmm... MAJOR negative vector

> So Far:
> + Anchorhead
Stab: Imagery

> Spider and Web:
> + Shrapnel
Stab: Mindgame

> Winter Wonderland:
> + Beat the Devil
> + Enlightenment
> + Space Under the Window
> + Worlds Apart
Stab: Whimsicality (for want of a better term)

> no strong correlations:
Strange ... there are a few in there where you'd expect correlations.
