Adventure Game Studio (or AGS for short) allows you to create your own point-and-click adventure games, like the older Sierra games (Space Quest 4, King's Quest 5-6, etc). It includes an easy-to-use Integrated Development Environment, and you do not need any programming experience to make a game using it.
For more advanced users, AGS supports scripting, where you can write a sort of program which allows you to have great control over the game.
By default, AGS will create Sierra-style adventure games, with the pop-up icon bar, and right-click cycles through the modes (walk, look, use, speak). However, you can change the interface completely using the Interface Editor to make Lucasarts-style or any other type of interface you want. AGS handles many parts of the system for you, like load/save game, character movement and object animations.
(You may have known this program previously as the Adventure Creator. AGS v2 replaced Adventure Creator over 3 years ago now - if you still have a game made with AC, grab a copy of AGS v2.00 to upgrade it).
