+qtads (a multimedia interpreter for TADS games)
+
+QTads is a so called "interpreter" for games created with the Text
+Adventure Development System, or "Tads" for short, a C-like object
+oriented programming language for authoring Interactive Fiction (similar
+to the Infocom or Legend Entertainment games, like "Zork"). Yes, we are
+talking about text adventures here.
+
+Both Tads 2 (*.gam) as well as Tads 3 (*.t3) games are supported. You can
+find a selection of games at http://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/tads/
+
+By default, Qt4 is used for the user interface. If you prefer Qt5, install
+libraries/qt5 and run this script with QT5=yes in the environment.
