The Legendary Tales Engine is where you play the adventures. Unlike many other text-based games it does not have a command line and the user acts with the use of a well developed GUI. The Legendary Tales Editor is a visual editor for the creation of adventures. The use of scripting adds even greater flexibility allowing the author to dynamically manipulate the game and its course. The author can load maps and images when certain events happen, update the journal with new quests and entries, award quest experience points and program the dialog with the various NPCs. The editor also gives the opportunity to encrypt the files to avoid cheating attempts by the users.
