Flight of the Amazon Queen.

I just finished playing this game for the very first time last night. I just had to make a topic out of this as I have not had this much fun with a PC Game since probably Day of the Tentacle. It really took me back: corny 1980s style action/adventure story, a beefy protagonist, humourous dialogue and an exotic setting. It was so much fun! Plus I only ever used a walkthrough once for this game and completed it in about 5 days. No wonder I'm having trouble taking contemporary games seriously.

I'm currently going through all of my old school games. I've become a member of gog.com (good old games). I've downloaded Kingpin and Duke Nukem 3D so far.

I'm going to play Beneath a Steel Sky next.
Oh My Gawd... I could spend a Fortune on that site... lol

Counting up a bill for myself as we speak ;) Someone write to Lucasarts and get them to upload everything from 1989 - 1999!
Haha... Them and Sierra...

Oh man I just went on a spree!! Great site!

right now I am playing Duke 3D at work! Reminds me of when I used to play it at school... c'mon boss keys!! Mind you, I was caught out at school once by my computers teacher when she noticed my boss key screen was Windows 3.1 despite the fact we were using 98 haha!!

-Cub. =o)
LMAO, we still used mostly Dos and 3.1 when I was in School... I didn't have Boss Keys... If I got caught that was it... Usually I was done my work with plenty of time to spare, so I didn't get in a whole lot of trouble for playing... She didn't like the fact that I brought my own games though...

OH MY FU**IN' GOD THEY HAVE CANNON FODDER THERE!! :D

Pirates, vampires, zombies, ninjas, ghouls, aliens, goblins, monsters, robots, sorcerers, undead, werewolves, demons, mutated dinosaur-cyborgs and those pesky phone salesmen! The shotgun is a one-size-fits-all solution!
I have been struck with another idea! Any chance we could have a chat with AC and CJ so we can get them to upload XP compatible versions of all the Tex games? They would save costs on manufacturing and distribution so I can't imagine it being too taxing on their pockets. The site is also very popular, so it would be great publicity.

Cub: also playing DN3D...ahhhh the memories. Redneck Rampage is next for me, currently playing Kingpin.

I thought the same lol :D

anyway I'd really like GOG to get on board with Activision and LucasArts, those are two companies that have been real assholes to the abandoned ware community- so to see their games actually come back and be sellable would be AWESOME.

Hell it'd be even cooler for them to do it for Access Software's stuff too but I doubt it.
Don't forget Interplay, they had some good games back in the day... Or were they a part of one of the other companies???


I have no problem paying for games from my youth as long as they don't go overboard on the price... A game called Metal Marines for Super Nintendo, I loved that game, when I rebought the SNES and NES I looked for that game and everywhere wanted 50 bucks or more for it... Finally I found it for right around 40 and grabbed it...
I realize the rarity index and all, but come on...

To make it worse, when I finally got around to unpacking all my old games for NES and SNES, I had 2 copies of the game in there...
