>4 }2{5Your guide to the Amazon: Converse. >2 {0 }1 So, you're a cheat hey? Well, that's alright so am I. For the many people who bought Flight of The Amazon Queen and are completely stuck (and I don't blame you, it's difficult). Amiga Frontier brings you a whole feast of answers to quash those darn right difficult puzzles. >3 The first puzzle sees you locked up in a hotel room by aww hawh haw haw! Anderson the smelly git. Right, as with most games of this genre, pick up everything which is pick-upable. The rooms a bit dark, so open the curtains, hmmm, you have now completed the game, congratulations! For your efforts you will be rewarded a free curtain rail courtesy of Binary Illusions, well... O.K I lied, so don't go writing to Binary Illusions complaining. Once the curtains are open, you can take a look out the window, you should see your pal Sparky waiting by the van, don't even bother trying to get his attention because he is as much use as a 386 P.C running Windows 95. Next, pick up the wig, it's bound to come in handy. Now pick up the bed sheets (both of them) and tie them to the radiator by clicking on the USE buttonn. This should now reveal a laundry chute, 3 guesses what you do next, bungee jumping for half an hour isn't one of the games features unfortunately, but if you can get hold of a Vidi 24 RT digitizer connector to bungee from this will do the job, or so Steve from V12 tells me. Anyway, you should now find yourself in the basement. Walk over to the door on the far right. You will find it's locked. Hah haaah! Walk over to the ladder and shelves and move the ladder so you can get at the wod of goodies. First pick up a crowbar which will come in handy for the vandals among us, also, pick up the breasts, obvious jokes abound. Now go up those safe looking stairs on your left. You will find yourself in the hotel lobby with a bell boy to your right and two very honest looking chaps to your left. Walk towards the bell boy and hit him on the head with the crowbar. What?!! That doesn't work? Oh well, err try talking to him and tell him that you are a friend of Lolas and she doesn't mind you having the key. Suppose second best will have to do. Now it's time to bugger off back to that room which you were locked in before, you should see a few chests, use the crowbar on the chests until one of them opens. Pick up the towel and then go to the the basement where you used the ladder and picked up some rather large squishey breasts. Now use the key and enter Lolas room. Upon entering the room you will see Lola. Keep talking to her for a few minutes while I just go to the loo. Ah, that's better, oh, hang on I forgot to wash my hands, won't be a tick. After talking to Lola for a minute or two she should go and have a shower, she will soon ask you for a towel. Try asking her if you can dry her! Give her the towel and she will then help you escape the hotel, by giving you a dress (didn't something like this happen in Monkey Island 2?). Time to put on the dress, the wig and the comedy breasts I think (as you do). This should be enough to fool the guards by the door if even only for a minute. Leg it into Sparky van, Sparky soon puts the pedal to the metal and you're off, but wait! Your being persued by Andersons men! Time to make like a horse and eat some hay I think. Pick up the hay throw it at the bad guys, OoooHhhh!! look there's some oil underneath the hay, what a coincidence. Empty it out on the road and watch the bad dudes spin off the road. NEAT! You will now find yourself at the airport where Anderson (the smelly one) is about to fly Faye off to the Amazon to record her film. Talk to Faye and Anderson for a few minutes and you will eventually get round to punching Anderson. Once aboard the plane, it's time to fly off to the amazon. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, I'm scared of heights. The plane gets struck by lightning and you crash land somewhere in the amazon. Sparky soon starts messing around with a yoyo. Right, time to start opening everything and fiddling with things to find items. Open the bag to find a lighter and knife, click on LOOK AT and point to the soggy seat, it's Sparkys comic. Take the beef jerky from Sparky when he offers it to you, now talk to Faye for a minute and annoy her, as you do in most of the game. Open the hatch, now use the knife on the lilly pad stem. Look around a bit and you'll find the planes ruined propeller, pick it up and use it to wade the lilly pad over to shore. Talk to Sparky, he'll tell you about the plane being naffed up and then tell you he needs a certain commander rocket comic. After this, it's time to go for a wander, heading North, you will come to a parrot which has got itself tangled up in a vine, help the poor thing by cutting the vine, and freeing the parrot. Make sure you grab the vine as well as it's bound to be useful. Head South, yes I know you can go North, but don't as there is a door to door salesman ahead who will undoubtedly con you out of your hard earned cash. (Ten pound goes to the person who spots the little lie). Anyway, GO SOUTH and continue until you reach a collapsed rope bridge with banana tree. Use the vine with the rope bridge to repair it and pick up a banana from the tree. Walk all the way back to where I said there would be a door to door salesman. You will find that there are no canvassers there, but rather a gorilla. Now I know the obvious thing to do in this game is to give the banana to the gorilla and if one isn't enough, feed it a couple, by all means try, but it won't work! The solution is silly, simply and not what you would think, talk to the gorilla for a while and tell him that gorillas don't live in America, but Africa. The gorilla will now see it's arse and disappear, allowing you to venture on to the pinacle and village. I'm afraid that's where I'm going to have to leave it. I have left you in a place which is easy to continue from for a while, so you should have some fun talking to people and figuring out stuff for yourself without getting trapped anywhere for a while. Don't miss part two of our exciting solution of Flight of the Amazon Queen in which we will be teaching you to talk the local village lingo, play with monkeys and reading a few comics (clever little hints there). Until next month, see you.
