Here is a list of the more common ones with websites for you to look at. Adrift 5.0 http://www.adrift.org.uk This is primarily an adventure and development toolkit for Windows games. The Adrift Generator uses a dialog based wizard for developing text adventures. It is a great starting place for beginners because there is little to no programming involved. Inform 7 http://www.inform7.com Inform 7 is an interactive fiction design system that uses natural language and samantics to create complex text adventures. It is fully cross-platform, and is one of the most widely used and supported text adventure systems today. Tads 3 http://www.tads.org TADS is a free authoring system for writing your own Interactive Fiction. It offers a complete set of programming tools for creating high-quality interactive fiction. Besides the popular interactive fiction and text adventure systems mentioned above you can just as easily use an off the shelf language like Python http://www.python.org to develop high quality text adventures as well.
