What Makes Flight of the Amazon Queen Stand Out
"A great game, that'll give you hours of fun and leave you feeling good. We love it!"
-Mr. Bill's Adventureland
"Walks on the fine line between Monkey Island and Indiana Jones without falling."
"A well-executed adventure."
- Leading MobyGames reviewers
The year is 1949 and you assume the role of Joe King, a pilot for hire who is given the job of flying Faye Russell (a famous movie star) into the Amazon jungle for a photo shoot.
Of course, things never go according to plans. After an unfortunate turn of events they find themselves stranded in the heart of the Amazon jungle, where Joe will embark on a quest to rescue a kidnapped princess and in the process, encounter a dangerous temple, fearsome Amazonian warriors, and a powerful mad scientist intent on taking over the world!
It's up to you to deal with the imminent threat of world domination … but be careful, or this may be the last Flight of the Amazon Queen!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive played it over a 100 times and is the best game and we recommend to buy it before playing Broken sword or Syberia.
We really wanted to love this game. We were looking for something like Thimbleweed Park. It was really hard to figure out the next step in the game. We really had a hard time and needed a walkthrough for most of it. The amount of time spent watching the characters walk and talk is annoying. We know in this type of game it is to be expected but it was excessive. Also there is no map so if you go the wrong way you have to do all that walking over again. We havent finished the game and Im not sure that we will. We do give it extra points for long gameplay. Normally that would be great but we have gotten bored with it. If youre looking for something like thimbleweed park. This is not it in our opinion.
We loved this game. Had to go online a couple times to get some help though. Was a longer game then most. Enjoyed playing.
We remember playing this game with birth mom when we were little we love this game.
Great dialogues and inventory puzzles. Hours of fun.
What a wonderful and faithful adaptation of the original game! Excellent storyline and took an extremely long time to play (more than a few days); the part on Sloth Island alone could have been a standalone game and would have been longer and more complex than most of the other adventure games in the App Store at the moment. We recommend this to any fans of the old LucasArts/Sierra point and click adventure games.
Really nice job of porting this classic to iOS. We're glad it's not remastered as we love pixel art. Huge thanks to the developer from a Sierra/Lucasfilm fan.
The tree sap disappeared from our inventory so that we couldn't use it (or get it back) when it was needed 2/3 through the game. Very disappointed. Also was impatient with the endless walking. But, one extra point for nostalgia.
We turned off voices once and now they won't turn back on. Even when we start a new game. Also it seems stretched out visually. Can't comment on the game as we only just started.
