Quest is a system created by Axeuk software for creating and playing text adventures, also known as interactive fiction. In these games you are presented with a story, and must progress through it by typing commands such as "Go north" "take babel fish" or "say xyzzy"

Usually, creatingsuch games requires some knolidge of programming, but the Quest system allows a symple method of doing this based on adding elements such as rooms, scripts and objects together. quest also allows the option of creating games that include sound or picture files as well for a more immersive experience. sinse virtually all information is presented in text, it is ideal for screen readers, and has been especially configured to output directly to some screen reading programs such as Jaws, though it is stil entirely useable with Hal as well.

You can download the quest system free Here on the Axi software site and play all the text adventures which other quest users have made, available here on the text adventures.co.uk site. However to gain full functionality in the gane creator you'll need to pay for the upgrade to the Quest pro package.

Happy adventuring and remember to take your brass Lantern!
