FOTAQ never found its audience due to a botched release at the tailend of the adventure gaming's popularity during the 90s, which is tragic, because this is a great game! While not on the level of a LucasArts adventure game from the same era, the designers were clearly aiming at that level of quality and come pretty close to matching it. The graphics are comparable to that of "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" or "Monkey Island." The puzzles, while a little obtuse at times, flow well with the story. The characters and story are superficially a bit derivative of Indiana Jones because of the setting, but its sense of humor is consistently charming and cheeky, backed up by some strong voice acting. There's also a bit more sexual innuendo than the LucasArts brand of adventure game - not Leisure Suit Larry level raunch, it's definitely family friendly, but there's an amusing level of naughty humor on display. The designers were real saucy Aussies - it's nice to have an adventure game protagonist with a libido (who isn't necessarily Leisure Suit Larry.) I don't know why this game is available for free, but don't let that trick you into thinking it's worthless! If you love 90s adventure games, this is a real treat just waiting to be discovered (at long last) by fans of the genre.
