Graphic Adventure Creator (often shortened to GAC) was a game creation system/programming language for adventure games published by Incentive Software, originally written on the Amstrad CPC by Sean Ellis, and then ported to other platforms by, amongst others, Brendan Kelly (Spectrum), Dave Kirby (BBC, Electron) and "The Kid" (C64). The pictures in the demo adventure, "Ransom", were made by Pete James and the box cover art by Pete Carter.
GAC was available for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, BBC Micro and Amstrad CPC. A simplified version without graphics, called just the Adventure Creator, was also available for the Acorn Electron. Compared to "The Quill" it had a more advanced parser (allowing commands like GET THE LAMP THEN LIGHT IT) as opposed to the simple verb-noun parser of "The Quill" and built-in graphics editor that caused it to quickly become popular. Over 117 titles were written using GAC. It also came with a built in text compressor. However, the release of "Professional Adventure Writer" caused interest to move to that platform instead.
A much extended version, known as STAC, was created a couple of years later for the Atari ST.
