An old fashioned graphic adventure.
Flight of the Amazon Queen was one of the most successful
graphic adventures of its time, using the
SCUMM graphic engine. In this story the main character was Joe King, an aircraft pilot.
Using a similar game system to the renowned
Monkey Island or
Indiana Jones titles, the truth is that
Flight of the Amazon Queen is an
excellent graphic adventure that offers great variety, with very well designed scenarios and a really good story.
The game starts with Joe King locked in a room from which he miraculously managed to escape, after that, he sees how the trip he had planed along the Amazon river is in danger. Nevertheless, the players task it to manage to complete that trip even if things don't end up working out as anticipated, because the plane crashes and
that is where the real adventure starts.
With
great amounts of humor,
very colorful and detailed design and a rather good story,
Flight of the Amazon Queen doesn't have anything to envy of other games from the same period that have managed to endure against other games that are more advanced. The truth is that despite being
launched in 1995, this game has still got many enthusiasts.
