The ADRIFT Runner is the standard Windows interpreter used to play ADRIFT games. It was created and is currently maintained by Campbell Wild, who also created the ADRIFT authoring system.
The ADRIFT Runner was the only interpreter available to play ADRIFT games until the introduction of jAsea, an open-sourced ADRIFT interpreter written in Java. Since ADRIFT Runner is only available for MS-Windows, ADRIFT games were commonly thought as "Windows-only games". Since the release of ADRIFT 5, ADRIFT games can now run on Windows, Linux, Mac and online.
