Flight of the Amazon Queen lives on with ScummVM!!

Company

Flight of the Amazon Queen is one of those feats that you hardly read about often enough. It was a graphic point-and-click adventure title that held up in quality to the games produced by the larger and genre dominating studios of Lucasarts and Sierra, yet was developed by only 3 people from Australia. The team from Queensland was called Interactive Binary Illusions (although I'm sure they were called Gee Whiz Entertainment when they made FOTAQ? I remember reading a UK Games mag that mentioned it). They're better known now as Krome Studios.

The good news is that John Passfield and Steve Stamatiadis has decided to make the game freeware and even helped out with the ScummVM community so that FOAQ doesn't disappear forever as OS's change and old games become incompatible, guaranteeing that it can be played on almost any computer! (ScummVM is open source)
