But the comedy is definitely geared at fans of Monkey Island: I had to admit I laughed out loud plenty of times. A similar technique of shading has been used as well. They are very colourful yet also quite realistic with the locations being detailed and attractive too. In truth, this game has also been influenced by Indiana Jones & Fate of Atlantis which can be witnessed when you take a look at the graphics. Yes, don't expect a believable plot from this game but then again, it's hardly expected from a game that takes obvious inspiration from Monkey Island. While running around the island, you discover a plot of a mad scientist to take over the world by transforming amazon women into dinosaurs. When you finally do managed to win her back, you crash in the jungle and have to try and get your plane back in the air. After escaping certain death in the intro, you're stranded in a hotel room where your first goal is to get out and prevent a rich and famous customer from being stolen away by a Dutch competitor. You start the game as a freelance pilot called Joe King in need of customers to fly around the world.
Flight of the Amazon Queen was one of them so let's take a look at how close it came to achieving its goal. Countless adventure games tried to mimic what made it so special and unique yet few really succeeded. If imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery then Monkey Island sure must be chuffed.
