Adventure Construction Set Download (1987 Utility Game)

Create your own graphic adventures! Adventure Construction Set allows the player to customize a tile-set, maps, and objects to create in-depth adventures, reminiscent of the early Ultima games. Seven small 'toolkits' to build from: Sci/Fi, Spy, and Medieval setting templates, plus two complete games are included as a demonstration:

Rivers of Light is based on Sumeric mythology and contains 140 rooms and Land of Aventuria consists of seven mini adventures with different settings, e.g. an adaption of Alice in Wonderland or a Nazi castle.

As its name implies, Adventure Construction Set is a program that allows you to create your own "adventure." The result is really an RPG, due to heavy emphasis on monsters and statistics. As a tool for creating dungeons, ACS was very advanced for its time. Though the graphics and sound are simple, there is a lot of room for customization. In addition to a myriad of design choices, the program offers a "create random adventure" feature that is perfect for everyone with limited patience. Once an adventure is created, you can create a "stand-alone" executable to give out to your friends. Overall, a solid, versatile package that is well worth a look if you like top-down RPGs. Too bad the dated graphics don't stand up too well with time, though.
