Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy

Amerzone is like stepping into a dream where logic is optional and atmosphere is everything. You play a journalist unraveling the mystery of a dying explorer’s last journey, which involves a lost civilization, mystical eggs, and a whole lot of lush, surreal landscapes. The gameplay leans heavily on point-and-click exploration with puzzles that range from clever to “why would anyone think of that?” The visuals were jaw-dropping for 1999, and the mood is as thick as jungle fog. It’s like Myst took a vacation in South America and never quite came back the same.

In the DVD-ROM rerelease of the game the cutscenes were in MPEG2 format instead of Smacker video. The DVD-ROM version saw further rereleases, some of them by Mindscape, some of them as bargain-priced pack-ins with other adventure titles.

The official strategy guide, Amerzone: Strategies & Secrets was released in June 1999. In addition to a walkthrough of the game, it contains a guide to the Amerzone universe, an interview with Sokal and some behind-the-scenes information. Another book, Amerzone: Memoirs of an Expedition, was put out by Casterman in November 1999.
