Flight Of The Amazon Queen

Crash Land Into Adventure!

The year is 1949. You are Joe King - 'pilot for hire', along with your trusty mechanic Sparky (who's addicted to comic books), you are struggling to survive in South America. Trouble starts when Joe decides to fly actress Faye Russel to a distant location where she is expected to start filming her latest movie. Thanks to a gigantic thunderstorm they soon find themselves stranded in the vast jungle of the Amazon where a sinister plot involving Dr. Frank Ironstein and an ancient tribe of Amazon women develops.

Flight of the Amazon Queen is an irreverent pastiche of the adventure serials that were popular in the 1940's, it is brimming with fun-filled action and a prgressively difficult level of play. The game has over 100 different graphic locations with over 40 characters with which to interact. The story progresses through the use of full screen cutaway sequences giving the game dramatic depth. The CD-ROM version features full in-game speech using a variety of actors, and dramatic sound effects.

ScummVM

This CD uses a SVN (Subversion) of ScummVMDC - compiled by Erwan 24-04-2007 (SVN for ScummVM 0.10.0), only the ScummVM main binary and FOTAQ plugin are used in this release (you will not be able to use this CD to disk swap with other ScummVM games).
When a game has booted, press the Left Trigger on the Dreamcast controller and the 'Virtual Keyboard' will launch, you can use it to skip cut scenes in the games and demos (esc), you can also name your save files within the game menu. Use the D-Pad on your DC controller to navigate around the virtual keyboard, pressing 'A' on your controller will input your selection into the game.
When playing the games, every five minutes or so the 'Autosave' function will launch, it will automatically save your position in the game you are playing directly to your VMU. If you do not want your VMU to fill up with saves from the different versions and demos, remove your VMU from your Dreamcast controller before playing the various selections included on this CD.
Once you have chosen a version of the game you want to play through to the end, insert your VMU into your DC controller, the autosave function will then save to your VMU, to save in a particular place during the game, use the in game menu and the virtual keyboard as described above.

We've included an addition to this CD in the form of a PC installer for FOTAQ (Windows only - XP, NT, ME, 2000, 98, 95), thanks to Clem, this program will install ScummVM and the FOTAQ floppy version on your PC with no additional settings or files required.
Once you have burnt your CD, pop it into your CD/DVD drive on your PC, browse for the 'Extra' directory, within there you'll find 'FOTAQ_SETUP_R3.EXE', run the exe to launch the installer, the setup program will guide you through the rest of the installation.
If you want to play the CD talkie version of FOTAQ on your PC, browse the CD for the 'QUEEN1' directory, drag and drop or copy and paste the 'QUEEN.1' and the 'QUEEN.TBL' files within there to the location on your hard drive where FOTAQ is installed (the default location is 'C:Program Files/Flight of the Amazon Queen/fotaq-data'), overwrite the existing queen.1 file within that directory, launch FOTAQ and have fun!.
