Gilsoft was a British developer of video games and related utilities. The company was best known for developing the text adventure authoring tool The Quill and its successor, Professional Adventure Writer.
History
Gilsoft was set up by Tim Gilberts, at the time aged 17, in the early 1980s, using money from his father, who ran an electronics store. Gilberts had been writing software for the ZX81 prior to founding Gilsoft, but with the release of the ZX Spectrum, he was convinced that he could make money by satisfying the demand for games for the new platform.
