TADS, standing for "Text Adventure Development System", created by Michael J. Roberts as a shareware package published by High Energy Software in 1987 and then released as freeware in 1996.

Some of the major games in TADS include Losing Your Grip, by Stephen Granade; Worlds Apart, by Suzanne Britton; and Once and Future, by Kevin Wilson.
The next version of TADS, TADS 3, was released in 2006 and is a fairly major overhaul.
