Download Quest, to create your own text adventure games
Excellence AwardQuest is a free program devoted to 1980′s-style text adventure games. It will let you create your own text adventures, even including graphics and sounds – with no need of programming skils.
Quest is in English, and includes a full tutorial. If you’ve ever wanted to create your own game, but have been put off by complicated programming languages, Quest is a way to get started.
