Description

QTads  is  an  interpreter  that can run games written in TADS. TADS is a programming language written by
       Michael J. Roberts, designed to implement text-adventure games (Interactive Fiction),  similar  to  those
       developed  by Infocom in 1980-1990, as well as other companies (like Legend Entertainment, Level 9, etc).
       If you liked games like "Zork", "Adventure", "Trinity", or "Eric the Unready", you'll feel right at home.

       This version of QTads supports both TADS versions in use today; traditional TADS 2 as  well  as  the  new
       TADS  3 format. It runs on a variety of systems, including MS Windows and every Unix system for which the
       Qt library is available, including Linux and Mac OSX.
