Icarus Adventure System is an application to create adventure games for the Nintendo DS portable console.

It is a completely free system that allows you to play adventure-type games for the Nintendo DS console, without the need to program in C language, since the program includes a simple Scripts system that will allow you to equip your game of all the interactivity necessary to create the plot of the game.

Once you have completed creating the adventure gmae, it can compacted the files into a single ROM file (.nds, .sc.nds or ds.gba) and run on the NDS as a homebrew.

This homebrew is available in multi-language, including Spanish, Catalan, English, Portuguese and French (documentation is in Spanish only).
