Flight of the Amazon Queen

I bought this back in the day and remember playing it on my 25 MHz Tandy. Decent game from what I remember. The story was entertaining, certainly enough to make me want to complete the game. I remember it being pretty linear--it shouldn't take very long to play through. I don't remember to much about the game, other than visuals of various scenes, and very vague impressions of the gameplay and story. I do remember, that it wasn't at the caliber of the best Sierra or Lucas Arts games, but still a decent little title. I'd give it 3 to 3.5 stars.

Very glad to see another Adventure Game on GOG. If you like point and click adventure, you absolutely need this.

Played this as a kid. Was not able to progress much in the game then. Used to try every possible click combinations and get lucky very few times.Now reliving the good times and was able to complete the game successfully. Well thought through and fun one.

This was pretty solid through the first major island area. Nothing too special, but decent story, reasonable puzzles, okay voice acting, mildly amusing writing. The music is awful and loud and constant, but things got much more tolerable when I just shut the music off, although since there are very few sound effects besides voices, the game gets oddly silent without music. Then you get to the second major area, Sloth Island, which is just an awful design mistake. The whole map is a deliberately confusing maze, so just getting around and finding your way to rooms with something in them you can do is a serious annoyance. It even has an actual maze towards the end, which has never not been terrible in the whole history of adventure games. The puzzles in this part are ridiculous, completely nonsensical from start to finish. The game's inventory is badly done, and it gets worse and worse the further you get in the game, so that's also a hassle in this second part. Nothing you pick up ever gets dropped, even when it has no more use, and you can only view four items at a time on the screen, so you constantly have to scroll through an increasing pile of junk to try to find the item you need. If you want to play this game, I suggest not bothering to try figuring out Sloth Island. Go step by step from a walkthrough from that point until the end of the game, as I eventually did just to get through the story. Once you get to Sloth Island, you've exhausted the good gameplay parts of this.
