Fun Fact: This is the American Version of the very famous Text Adventure Making Software from Jolly ol England known as "The Quill".

As an American(Sadly!), That makes me very happy knowing "The Quill" made it here.

Or if you wanted to you could use an Amstrad emulator on your PC and run the quill program on it same as you did back in the day.

Sparky.

There are a few game creation tools available on IF websites that are free. This one looks pretty good.

There's a list here of some more creation apps for PC.

There's also one you can buy on steam for £24.

I used the quill system in the 80s on the amstrad and loved it would like to write more adventure games now that I'm a pensioner is there anyway I could buy an updated version for the pc.
