Flight of the Amazon Queen (FOTAQ) is a graphical point-and-click adventure game by Interactive Binary Illusions originally released in 1995 for DOS and Amiga and re-released as freeware in 2004 for use with ScummVM. It is very similar in style in many ways to LucasArts' many popular point-and-click adventures of the 1990s, and was inspired by Monkey
Island.
The player assumes the role of Joe King, pilot for hire and owner of the Amazon Queen airplane of the title, who crashlands in the Amazon jungle and subsequently has to save not only his passenger, the famous movie star Faye Russel, but also an entire tribe of Amazon women and even the world from a mad scientist and his lederhosen company, who have concocted a vile scheme to turn Amazons into Dinosaur warriors using his DinoRay invention.
Prior to release, the game was sent by the publisher to Future Publishing's Amiga Power magazine, to be reviewed by Jonathan Nash in issue 51. Whilst playing he found an error which prevented progression through the game (at the start, the bellhop would not relinquish the door key). He informed the publisher which resulted in the game release being delayed for several months as, at the time, the game had been sent to the disk duplication factory ready for reproduction.
