Mad is a powerful open-source adventure game engine and interpreter, ideally suited for old (non-parser) Sierra-style (King's Quest, Hero's Quest, Space Quest, etc...) adventures, but can be adjusted to other tastes as well.

With Mad you can create your own graphical adventure games for free, with: high or low resolution, mp3 audio, A* pathfinding, alpha-blending, cross-platform support, and more.

The Mad engine utilizes a free script interpreter called LUA. Because MAD is script-driven, it's highly customizeable, not limiting it's use to a certain type of adventure game.

Mad is being developed as a cross-platform engine. Consequently, the platforms it can run on will only be limited by the libraries it is dependent upon. Although currently only Dos and Windows versions have been compiled (with some slight exceptions). In the future, MAD should be able to run on Unix/Linux, and MacOS.
