Flight of the Amazon Queen (also: 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.
Taking place in the 1940s, the game is a pastiche of adventure serials of the time. 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.
In March 2004, the game was released as freeware and support for it was added to ScummVM, allowing it to be played on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Windows CE and other compatible operating systems. The datafiles for both the disk and CD-ROM version are available from the ScummVM website.
