• HTML TADS
  The original Multimedia Tads interpreter for Microsoft Windows operating systems, by the creator of Tads, Michael J. Roberts. If you're on MS Windows, that's the interpreter you should be using.
• CocoaTADS
  A Multimedia Tads interpreter for Mac OS X. It is currently the only other HTML TADS port besides QTads that aims to bring Multimedia Tads to modern, non-Microsoft operating systems. (There doesn't seem to be a dedicated homepage for it, so the link will bring you to the author's page were CocoaTADS is listed if you scroll down a bit.)
• HyperTADS
  A Multimedia Tads interpreter for (the now outdated) Macintosh System 7, 8 and 9. It does not work in Mac OS X and development has ceased. The last version to be released is dated 2004.
• Zoom
  An interpreter that can run Z-Code, Tads and Hugo games. There is no support for Multimedia Tads games though; they always run in text-only mode.
• Gargoyle
  An interpreter that supports all the major interactive fiction formats with a strong focus on typography. Like Zoom, Multimedia Tads features are not supported and games run in text-only mode.
• Spatterlight
  An interpreter for Mac OS X that supports all the major interactive fiction formats. Like Gargoyle, it places a strong focus on typography. Like the above, Tads games run in text-only mode.
• FrobTADS
  Cross-platform, console-mode (curses/ncurses) Tads interpreter and development tools. It supports most of the latest text-only Tads user interface features, including colored text and backgrounds, Tads 3 banner windows, and timed input. There is no support for Multimedia Tads games; they always run in text-only mode. Most importantly, it provides the Tads development tools (Tads 2 and Tads 3 command-line compilers and supporting libraries) which allows for authoring your own Tads games.
