About Tads

TADS was created in 1988 by Mike Roberts. It was developed to provide a robust platform for writing and playing text-based adventure games, offering features that supported complex storytelling and interactive elements.

TADS strengths included its powerful scripting language, extensive libraries, and strong community support. Its weaknesses involved a steep learning curve and limited graphical capabilities. Competitors included Inform, which also focused on interactive fiction but offered a more intuitive language for some users.
