Flight of the Amazon Queen

Flight of the Amazon Queen – A tropical point-and-click adventure brimming with charm and pixel magic.

If you’re a fan of classic adventure games à la Monkey Island and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, then Flight of the Amazon Queen is a must-play. You play as the slightly arrogant yet big-hearted pilot Joe King (not Black 😉), who’s tasked with flying the glamorous Hollywood star Faye Russel to the Amazon.

But the trip quickly takes an unexpected turn, and soon you find yourself deep in the jungle, surrounded by sinister villains, hidden temples, Amazons, and dinosaurs (!). With its humorous dialogue, colorful graphics, and classic point-and-click controls, it’s a game that hits the retro sweet spot.
