This old dame turns 20 this year - Happy Birthday Flight of the Amazon Queen!
(I think it was around this week in May 1995 it got it’s initial UK release - and October in the US).
My first big game. I co-designed the game and did ALL the art and I mean all of it. In 32 color and 256 color versions. It took us about 3 years to finish but it was worth it.
I just found a whole bunch of the first pre-production images i did so prepare to be spammed this week. It’s a lesson in “how the hell do I make this?” from the pre-internet years when there were only rare gaming magazine articles and lots of guesswork - especially if you were stuck down in the bottom end of nowhere like Brisbane.
You can play it for free if you like - it’s available at GoG http://www.gog.com/game/flight_of_the_amazon_queen . It comes with a full soundtrack and a pretty nice “making of” written by co-designer/writer/programmer/producer John Passfield.
