Graphic Adventure Creator (often shortened to GAC) is a game creation system/programming language for adventure games published by Incentive Software, originally written on the Amstrad CPC by Sean Ellis,[1] and then ported to other platforms by, amongst others, Brendan Kelly (Spectrum),[2] Dave Kirby (BBC, Electron)[3] and "The Kid" (Malcolm Hellon) (C64).[4] The pictures in the demo adventure, Ransom, were made by Pete James and the box cover art by Pete Carter.

GAC was released in 1985 for the Amstrad CPC[1] and in 1986 for the ZX Spectrum,[5][2] Commodore 64[6][4] and BBC Micro.[3] A simplified version without graphics, called just the Adventure Creator, was also released for the Acorn Electron in 1987.[7] GAC was ported to the Atari ST in 1988 as ST Adventure Creator (STAC) by the original author.[8][9]

GAC had a more advanced parser than The Quill, allowing commands like GET THE LAMP THEN LIGHT IT, and a built-in graphics editor. Over 300 titles were written using GAC.[10] It also came with a built in text compressor.[5]

Reception

GAC was well received, earning a Zzap! Gold Medal Award.[6] Your Sinclair reviewed the ZX Spectrum version giving it a 9/10 score.[5] The ST version reached number 18 on the bestsellers chart on August 1988.[9]
