It came from the jungle!

Flight of the Amazon Queen, a classic point-and-click adventure that takes you through a story taken straight out of 1940s pulp magazines, full of witty humor and top-notch pixel-art graphics, is available on GOG.com as a FREE download!

My name's Joe King, and this is my story. Unbelievable as it may seem, it is a true story. You might not believe me, that's OK. I don't care much. You wanna know why? That's because when you get to tell someone your story, chances are there won't be any Hollywood stars in it, no mad scientists, now ancient temples lost in the jungle, and no plots of world domination. Sure, your story might be exciting too, maybe even weird at times just like mine, but I'm well damn sure your's won't have a super-scientific dino-ray in it! Well, mine has one. So, grab a cold one and let me tell you the tale of a certain journey. It all began with the girl...

Flight of the Amazon Queen is a point-and-click classic sporting traditional, beautiful pixel-art graphics, funny writing, a grand story based on many prolific pulp fiction clichés, and lots of full-speech in-game dialog. You will instantly fall in love with the story's mood and pacing, and the brilliant puzzles will keep you entertained for many hours. To read a story like that in the 1940, you'd have to pay whole 10¢. Today, as a part of GOG.com 5th birthday celebration, you can play for it absolutely FREE!

Find out what mysteries the jungle holds, foil the plot of an evil genius, present great bravery, let your wit shine, and--finally--get the girl in Flight of the Amazon Queen, available free of charge on GOG.com!

Reever: Another free game, many thanks, GOG! :D (or not, backlog only growing bigger xD)

So you'd recommend this for a beginner? I think I do have other adventure games on my shelf (quest for glory, the longest journey, tales of monkey island, back to the future, book of unwritten tales and of course the other free games), but I don't know which would be best for me. I remember that I wasn't really good at puzzles when I was younger - and I think that that disadvantage stayed with me till now :P

benmar: I thought the game is easier than other adventures. No deaths, no dead ends, lots of hints and funny humor.
But I can't guarantee you will have the same experience.

If you want to get into adventures, I would recommend the Telltale games. They have easy puzzles and minimal backtracking.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Telltale games (it's an interactive story where the choices matter).. but there are zero puzzles. I would absolutely not recommend the Telltale games if you like point and click puzzles as there aren't any.

Contact support, pretty sure only they could help with it if the soundtrack itself is broken.

The problem seems to be with you version of MPC. 00:31 simply seems to be wrong. All media players here (including MPC-HC and WinAMP) agree that this track is only 5s long. There are also other very short tracks like 5 and 25 so that looks correct to me.

Simply, I have a few years of use this player. And this is the first time - when I met this bug. In all other cases - this was due to the corrupted file. I downloaded again - same thing.

Looking thru MPC-HC bug-tracker, it has also suffered from same kind of bug in it's internal filter and it is fixed.
I think that basic MPC has old internal filter that has this bug.

You're not the only one. It's a moronic meme. I can hear it clearly enunciated too.
