The original TADS 1 was released by High Energy Software as shareware in 1988, and was followed by TADS 2 not long after.

TADS 2 syntax is based on C, with bits of Pascal.

Whereas the TADS 1 and 2 VMs had to parse the commands entered by the player, before sending the results on to the game, TADS 3 employs a more general-purpose virtual machine, where the command-parsing is done by the game code itself, akin to Inform.

Graham Nelson, creator of Inform, describes Inform and TADS as the " only two systems ... widely used " in the last half of the 1990s, and TADS has been called " The second most commonly used IF programming language today ".

Although the first competition had separate sections for Inform and TADS games, subsequent competitions have not been divided into sections and are open to games produced by any method, provided that the software used to play the game is freely available.

The TADS 3 compiler and interpreter have been ported to the DOS, Macintosh and Unix platforms.

Several TADS 3 games have been released.

Glk is a portable application programming interface ( API ) created by Andrew Plotkin for use by programs with a text interface ; these programs mostly include interactive fiction ( IF ) interpreters for Z-machine, TADS, Glulx, and Hugo games, and IF games written in more obscure file formats such as those used by Level 9 Computing and Magnetic Scrolls.

TADS games supply a fair list of verbs commonly used in their documentation ; if the game designer uses new actions not covered in this list, and which cannot easily be inferred by the purpose and context of the object, the player will probably encounter this problem.

Parsers are used in early interactive fiction games like the Zork series, and more recently in games created by systems like Inform and TADS.

In 2006, TADS received a major overhaul with the release of TADS 3, which is a complete rewrite of the TADS engine, only retaining the platform-dependent code to ease porting.

TADS 3 uses a language with a syntax that resembles C ++ and Java.

Games written in TADS are compiled to a platform-independent format that can be played on any computer for which a suitable virtual machine ( VM ) exists.
