Not bad ScummVM adventure alike Indiana Jones
The era of pulp adventure magazines had began to die out by mid 1990s and so the timing was not that ripe for this particular game which, rather half heartedly, tried to create a tongue in cheek pastiche of the genre's tropes. However, what it manages is to create a buggy point and click adventure, still based on the ScummVM interaction panel, by the time quite dated, replaced by more streamlined point and click interfaces. It's not however just the interface that is going to bug you, it's also the high amount of fiddling and illogical trial and error puzzles which might have been fun in a title such as Monkey Island, but here, they just feel lazy. If you can get past that, the graphics are hand drawn in the style of the aforementioned adventure pulp magazines, and the story involves a crash landing in the Amazon Jungle, from where you have to escape. Not a bad premise for Indiana Jones aficionados, but it is poorly delivered. Rather give the classics a try if you haven't already, Flight of the Amazon Queen is not worth the trouble.
