Yeah, he's immediately lost. And then he gets snarky with you for not handling the food situation on his tour. I think he just got there from Winnipeg after deciding on the spot to run tours through the Amazon!
Interestingly enough, the original Amazon Trail had a MUCH simpler story to it: you're basically trying to deliver a certain medicinal herb to a dying tribe located in Vilcabamba. Additionally, instead of the stupid jaguar, you have a black panther to give you guidance and remind you to find the herb. I'm not entirely sure why they decided to change this story into... whatever the "story" is for this version.
Well, there are no Black Panthers in the Amazons so it makes sense that they changed that (Unless it was a Black Jaguar. You know, like in The Emperor's New Groove)
It depends on where you live, because, like I said, colloquialisms are dumb. Where I'm from, black panthers DO refer to jaguars instead of leopards. It's like how where you're living can determine what bug you tink of when you hear the name "(grand)daddy longlegs". Where I'm from, that's the name we give spiders, also often called "cellar spiders". In other parts of the US, it refers to spider-looking (but unrelated) arthropods also called "harvest men". In certain countries of Europe, it refers to winged insects sometimes also called "mosquito hawks" or "crane flies" in the US. Three completely different animals, all called the same thing. And no one definition is more "right" than the other.
Ah yes, I remember this game. Too bad you never got to meet the Conquistador who tries to steal all your stuff, who you get to kill by giving him dangerous medicine that he eats immediately like an idiot.
A banana is an edible fruit, botanically a berry, produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. (In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called plantains.) The fruit is variable in size, color and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a rind which may be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe. The fruits grow in clusters hanging from the top of the plant. Almost all modern edible parthenocarpic (seedless) bananas come from two wild species - Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. The scientific names of most cultivated bananas are Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana, and Musa × paradisiaca for the hybrid Musa acuminata × M. balbisiana, depending on their genomic constitution. The old scientific name Musa sapientum is no longer used.
I think you can't progress in the game, because you haven't really being playing it. You need to land, collect special items and take pictures of the changing wildlife. You are supposed to be preserving the wildlife from extinction as you progress, but you haven't even encountered any wildlife. Many of the characters that you talk, such as Mr. Ford, will trade you special items, that end up being vital to the protection of the rainforest. I think it is kicking you out once it becomes apparent there is no way you could win on your current play through.
essengeebee We had Amazon, Yukon, and Oregon Trail growing up. If I am really showing my knowledge: Fishing was always mildly terrifying, because there was a chance piranhas would get you. The blue mist was something that should be dreaded, not welcome. Once you go through the mist you will never be able to encounter certain species again. If you don't take a picture of every species, you can't get the perfect ending. The lady talking about fruit at the beginning? She was giving you hints about where to find them in the jungle section, so you could get that perfect ending. The continue arrow that is facing the wrong way? You are traveling backwards in time.
lol, I was going to point this out too. I used to play this game for hours when I was a kid and my favorite thing to do was get out of the boat to document wildlife.
I wonder if something else was supposed to happen during that weird buggy transition from the game back to the title screen. Was it some kind of Game Over sequence that didn't look right, that you get for not doing what he says? Or did the game just freak out?
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN I think I did recognize a couple of little sound bits as the Game Over sphiel, yes. If you just charge blindly ahead, the Jaguar will stop you and send you back to the main menu.
@@PixarShark I like to think of it as instead of what the Jaguar usually does, which is nicely tell kids to go back and take their time to learn on the next go, he was so appalled at this grown man ignoring all his instructions that he just mauled him to death.
I loved this game! My siblings and I would play it for hours! There were some really cool features like searching the rainforest for rare species and taking their photos. There was more to it than just sailing around in the boat. Also, here's a fun fact- the actor who played Miguel is my uncle! 😂
Ian didn't even get the best one(the one that the glitched woman sent you too) Can't tell if it was an actual native or someone with just really REALLY bad english. He taught a little bit about native medicine though so that was neat.
Dear Ian- I hope you're reading this. It's just like you said; you HAVE crossed the almighty Jaguar God one too many times. I know you were only joking but you need to repent from your sins. You must offer the Jaguar God a piece of wood as a display of penitence. I do hope and pray the Jaguar God forgives your sinful ways.
I personally really loved this game as a kid. A feature he didn't touch on was that you can get out of the canoe and explore the jungle, taking photos of animals to fill out your guide book and collect food (which is why that lady teaches you how to find edible plants). I also loved the fishing and when you meet more people you unlock more things, like medicine and a game where you identify insects etc.
Most of our gameplay, was taking pictures and identifying the animals! I only would ever do a few of the "blue mist" encounters. One thing I remember the most, is the part where you come across a conquistador, and you can give him poison and tell him it is a plant that tastes like candy, and he eats it and his slave runs off as the conquistador dies.
He did not respond. (Also those are infertile Cavendish bananas, they do not grow naturally, not do I know of banana Johnny Appleseeds planting/replanting them throughout the river for the foregone rare passersby to enjoy)
Lugbzurg glad I m not the only one. I laughed at the mistakes they made time to time. like Luigi in his regular green clothing and pink the next second
AYOO POPS I remember this game as a kid and can tell you what happened based on memory. Just like in Oregon trail, you can get sick, have a "Good, Fair, Poor" health status, and you need to eat vegetables as well as meat. On the bottom right corner you can enter the jungle to take pictures of animals and grab some veggies. This is like hunting in Oregon Trail, as the environment changes as you progress through the game, and the time of day. The reason why the screen went black was because your character died. You either starved or became too sick. Skipping the plot only has negative consequences to your final score, and sometimes prevents you from succeeding in further plot chapters. Such as trading fish for a gold statue and later giving it to the rightful owner. My memory is kinda hazy as I haven't played the game in over 20 years, but there's more to the game than you presented in the video.

10:54 No! No. This game is teaching children (the poor souls) the wrong thing. Henry Ford didn't invent the automobile; he invented the *manufacturing line*, speeding up the process of making automobiles. So you can teach kids about bananas, but not about freaking _history?!_
TheRPGirl It looks like he says he invented “Ford automobiles” not just “automobiles”. I don’t know my history very well but I would assume that to be accurate.
yea like the person above said, it seems it says "ford automobiles". so it's accurate, though a bit confusing. you're not wrong, it's just the game that is "technically right" lol
I'm sure someone has posted this already but Amazon trail was full of bugs, which is probably why no one speaks of it, heck even Wikipedia kind of denies it's existence (the page doesn't exist)
I know this is from 2 years ago but at first I interpreted this to mean that everyone pretended the actual Amazon river doesn't exist, because there's too many insects.
yeah I was referring to the game of course, mostly AT3 (some kind of stupid errors where it kicked you out of the game for no reason all the more reason to keep saving)
Now this is the story all about how My life got flipped turned upside down So id like tot ake a minute, just sit right there And ill tell you how I became the best guide in Bel-Air In west Amazon, born and raised On the river was where i spent most of my days Chillin out maxin' relaxin all cool And shooting some fish with my harpoon Thats when a couple of tribes who were up to no good Started makin trouble in my neighborhood We got in one little fight and the tribe got scared to the bone And said "Tell everyone to leave us alone!"
This game made a big mistake by not allowing your travellers to become infested with candiru, the terrifying parasites that swim up into your pee pees while you urinate into the river and then eat you from the inside out.
+SinTalento Producciones Yeah! James Earl Jones, I thought the exact same thing XD. I'm surprised more people didn't mentioned that since it's pretty bang on. I thought, for sure, the top comment would be something regarding that haha.
6:08 Okay I had to stop and replay because I couldn't stop laughing at that face! "...we should be right about here." *smile* _Oh shit he's gonna find out I don't know anything about Amazon..._
Since me and my parents are in the lower-middle class, in 2004, I only played 90s games, so the graphics in most of the game reviews you make give me a nostalgiagasm.
I really wish I didn't hate the Amazon Trail games. Never liked them, though. Maybe I had a traumatic incident with them when I was young that I somehow repressed.
When I saw that little white dot on the shore, I literally said out loud "This looks like a good resting place." Three fucking seconds later. "This looks like a good resting place."
Wow, this takes me way back, I forgot this game ever existed. I remember bawling my eyes out from all the frustration of catching fish, getting lost and having the game crash.
"We don't even have time to wonder why the continue arrow is facing backwards" *Roundabout starts playing* Backwards Jojo "to be continued" arrow appears
Wait, wait, wait. Moose said that is Oregon trail was cut short because of an accidental gunshot. Naturally, he chose the doctor for his Amazon trail to avoid just that. The plot twist comes when you realize that Moose decided to be a doctor in his Oregon Trail II review.
Gotta love how this giant relic that thousands of people probably see every week and has likely been stuck in that museum for sixty-years or more just finally decides, "Yeah this one, this one right here. This six-year-old with a shaky hold on speaking? Yeah, this is the one I'm going to reveal myself too and entrust this great knowledge too."
I've watched the end of the game, and it turns out that the message by the Ancient Ones... was a preachy environmental one. Trust me, you didn't miss much.
omg .. as anticlimactic as that is thank you 😭 I played this game so much as a kid but I never finished it, the jaguar god has been stalking me ever since
My family got this game in a cereal box. I played it, got stuck on a man who was too stubborn to speak and I couldn't change his mind, I was suppose to trade with him but I had nothing he wanted. I then just shut off the game and never touched it again.
My guess is you went down a tributary by mistake. Sometimes the river splits, and if you follow the wrong path you'll meet some unfriendly natives. Backtracking and going down the main river solves the problem.
The crashing revenge happened to me a lot. There was a part that you didn’t get to or didn’t show of you exploring parts of the rainforest and clicking on different animals, one was at night and the lights would flash on and you’d have to find them
Wow I wasn't sure what to expect but a talking jaguar head medallion sending you to the amazon to pass a test by the ancients because you are the chosen one, that sure wasn't it.
One of your best. I have the original amazon trail. Never could beat it cause I didnt know what the fuck was going on. Or what to do. It was a trying experience...
I had this game when I was 7. I only recognized it when I saw the fishing mini-game. I also remember doing the quest for Teddy Roosevelt and actually finding him.
I played this game back in the day, hes actually making rubber, which you can trade for- it actually has no ingame purpose, but you get a jaguar God token for helping him.
From what I remember, the Yukon trail was actually really fun. They didn't even bother to try a hunting game, but in truth, it didn't need one. Also, mot of the music in this video was from Yukon trail. I don't know if you've used this music before, but I thought it was a nice touch.
Hello from the future! 👋🏻 In all seriousness, there's now games being developed based more closely on the Indigenous experiences of US expansion, such as When Rivers Where Trails, and now a remake of the Oregon Trail with input from actual Native American scholars
I got the 3rd edition of Amazon Trail, which had higher-resolution graphics, turned the intro into a complete cutscene instead of clicking through the museum, and from what I remember, the Jaguar was a bit more lenient over what you could do.
The funniest part about the Henry Ford segment: I read a book about Fordlandia many years after conquering this game, “Fordlandia” by Greg Grandin (I would recommend it), and it said that Ford never visited his namesake rubber plantation town. He always kept tabs on it through various supervisors in his employ, but he was saving his personal visit for when it was a success. It never was.
I haven't played the sequels but the original Amazon Trail had him with a beautifully deep voice; this one sounds like he's talking through a can across time (still cool, though!)
I actually had this game as a kid... The whole game's point is to get every token and then you get the "good" end. If you don't, Jaguar face gets sad and tells you to play again to get all the tokens... For an educational game, i actually remember learning something from this, it was about rubber trees. I was like 7 or so, so 14 years ago. My mom was a teacher and had a extra copy at home for us to play. The fishing was neat and different cause of all the neat fish it showed you, and the "thrill of seeing that huge fish and trying to get it", and you could go on land and collect plants and witness the wild life. For what the game set off to do, which was to educate children about the rain forest and historical facts about it, it was pretty competent. You look back at it now, of course its dumb, but its not like the Oregon trail, there was no (to my knowledge) big migration from one end of the river to the other so it couldn't have worked the same. It was just trying to educate using a similar method. But the stuff did get progressively offensive with their actors... but this was the nineties we are talking about. It has nostalgia to me and i was surprised to see a video on it. Sorry your copy didn't work! the game isnt that bad and the let down of a ending would have been funny.
Holy wow. I spent so many hours of my childhood playing this game. I did beat it a few times. What a nostalgia trip. It's funny how it seemed so great back then.
9:24 actually convincing the brazilian government to do anythinhg is kinda impressive,our government tend to be a little stubborn most of the time. seriously, they're hard to convince, this claudio guy is a fucking badass.
True dat, I was kind of ticked off that Ian kind of scoffed off that pretty epic historical figure. I guess Ian's just not into history or Brazilian government...
Oh man, I remember this game! I don't care what any of you say, that stupid spear fishing mini game was the best...or the very least, super addicting. I would always see if I could catch a Bullshark..and I never did. Anyone know where I could find a copy/emulator of this?
I vaguely remember the Amazon Trail and of course the Oregon Trail. I went to a ghetto school back in the early 2000s (the school district put the Gifted & Talented program there to make the school's test scores look better) and they still had Mac Classics then.
Camioup Do not fear, mortal! I, the goddess Artemis, shall provide you with knowledge of this odd yellow plantlife in the Amazon. Nothing else, just bananas. You're welcome.
Dude, I remember this game! As a child, I distinctly remember helping Ford enslave the natives, and the jaguar god got super pissed and yelled at me. I cried for the entire night.
There's an Amazon Trail 3, for those who aren't aware. It's basically the same as Amazon Trail 2, just with smoother animation (I guess), a few different cinematics, and for some reason only two tour guides to choose from instead of four. Miguel and the big spear lady were cut.
Miguels expression of pure doom when reading the map is priceless
Yeah, he's immediately lost. And then he gets snarky with you for not handling the food situation on his tour. I think he just got there from Winnipeg after deciding on the spot to run tours through the Amazon!
That's why I always picked him. He had the best reactions
>this game takes place in Belém
Shit, i live here! I should go on an adventure to learn what a Banana is!

Interestingly enough, the original Amazon Trail had a MUCH simpler story to it: you're basically trying to deliver a certain medicinal herb to a dying tribe located in Vilcabamba.

I'm not entirely sure why they decided to change this story into... whatever the "story" is for this version.
Well, there are no Black Panthers in the Amazons so it makes sense that they changed that
(Unless it was a Black Jaguar. You know, like in The Emperor's New Groove)
***** Yeah, you're probably right. It's most likely a Black Jaguar.
ObsidiusFan Black panthers and black jaguars can be the same thing because colloquialisms are dumb.
Black panthers is the term usually used for black leopards.
Leopards and Jaguars are totally different felines, even if they're stupidly similar.
It depends on where you live, because, like I said, colloquialisms are dumb. Where I'm from, black panthers DO refer to jaguars instead of leopards.
It's like how where you're living can determine what bug you tink of when you hear the name "(grand)daddy longlegs".

I'm the best guide in Bel air
Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped turned upside down
So id like tot ake a minute, just sit right there
And ill tell you how I became the best guide in Bel-Air
In west Amazon, born and raised
On the river was where i spent most of my days
Chillin out maxin' relaxin all cool
And shooting some fish with my harpoon
Thats when a couple of tribes who were up to no good
Started makin trouble in my neighborhood
We got in one little fight and the tribe got scared to the bone
And said "Tell everyone to leave us alone!"
This game made a big mistake by not allowing your travellers to become infested with candiru, the terrifying parasites that swim up into your pee pees while you urinate into the river and then eat you from the inside out.
I had an uncle who died of that
Happy Birthday Chad!
That sounds like the adventure of a lifetime
Hey, Chad!
Happy Birthday!
Herpy boorthday
That Jaguar looks suspiciously like something from Hotline Miami.
So this is where the criminal was hiding out, going to call the pol-
*Head is bashed in from a fist*
+edfreak9001 he sounds like the guy who does darth vader´s voice
+SinTalento Producciones Yeah! James Earl Jones, I thought the exact same thing XD.
I'm surprised more people didn't mentioned that since it's pretty bang on. I thought, for sure, the top comment would be something regarding that haha.
shady4091 yeah, it always amaze me how i disco ver things that no one el se comments about
6:08
Okay I had to stop and replay because I couldn't stop laughing at that face!
"...we should be right about here." *smile* _Oh shit he's gonna find out I don't know anything about Amazon..._
THE ENDING I CANT BREATHE
I'd like to imagine a secret ending, where it turns out you slipped and fell at the museum and were in a coma the whole time.
Since me and my parents are in the lower-middle class, in 2004, I only played 90s games, so the graphics in most of the game reviews you make give me a nostalgiagasm.
I really wish I didn't hate the Amazon Trail games. Never liked them, though. Maybe I had a traumatic incident with them when I was young that I somehow repressed.
Well, just let that version sink in and then you'll have a good reason to hate those games in general.
+PushingUpRoses .............................DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNn
When I saw that little white dot on the shore, I literally said out loud "This looks like a good resting place."
Three fucking seconds later.
"This looks like a good resting place."
Hey, I remember playing this game when I was a kid. Beat it too. What I remember most is tricking a conquistador into choking himself.
Hey, that part was fun! The first few times I played, I just avoided him because I couldn't figure it out, lol.
Choking? I remember it as having to give him some poison that you get from another time.
Wow, this takes me way back, I forgot this game ever existed. I remember bawling my eyes out from all the frustration of catching fish, getting lost and having the game crash.
I only made a twitter account so that im notified whenever there is a new brutalmoose vid. Totally worth it.
The Jaguar has a Janes Earl Jones voice like Mufasa, but the terrible reverb and audio feedback sounds like Darth Vader.
These trail videos are great! The Yukon Trail seems like the funnest one to me.
you were almost having fun there, you almost missed some learning *tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap*
"We don't even have time to wonder why the continue arrow is facing backwards"
*Roundabout starts playing*
Backwards Jojo "to be continued" arrow appears
this video is almost 10 years old??? i remember the exact day it came out, i watched it while eating some damn good sushi!
I want sushi
Are you sure it was an accident?
+Nigel S. *echoes* Accident... accident... *echoes*
+Andy Andy Murderin varmints... Murderin varmints... Murderin varmits...

Y'know, this river bank makes for a good resting place.
That, my good friend, is the secret of life.
Wait, wait, wait.
Moose said that is Oregon trail was cut short because of an accidental gunshot. Naturally, he chose the doctor for his Amazon trail to avoid just that.
The plot twist comes when you realize that Moose decided to be a doctor in his Oregon Trail II review.
Okay. That ending had me rolling. The secrets of the Amazon are great and terrible indeed.
I love how passive aggressive that Jaguar is
Gotta love how this giant relic that thousands of people probably see every week and has likely been stuck in that museum for sixty-years or more just finally decides, "Yeah this one, this one right here. This six-year-old with a shaky hold on speaking? Yeah, this is the one I'm going to reveal myself too and entrust this great knowledge too."
I've watched the end of the game, and it turns out that the message by the Ancient Ones...
was a preachy environmental one.
Trust me, you didn't miss much.
omg .. as anticlimactic as that is thank you 😭 I played this game so much as a kid but I never finished it, the jaguar god has been stalking me ever since
To be fair it is an important lesson.
At least he wasn't reminding us to drink our chocolatey Ovaltine! The cacao tree is native to South America, after all.
LOL, at least there's that
I want an enviromental game where the message at the end is basically a captain planet type saying "take care of the planet.... OR I'LL KILL YOU"
still can't get over the parrot coloured owl on the cover...
This video instantly becomes 300 times funnier if you are actually Brazillian, I'm CHOCKING IN MY LAUGHTER.
I was thinking about it all the time. The mosquitos actions in the game, the way he said João. Everything was a little more funnier.
nathália a. I am now... Jau.
I remember playing this as a kid and not understanding any of it. I never knew what it was called, but now the memories come racing back.
My family got this game in a cereal box. I played it, got stuck on a man who was too stubborn to speak and I couldn't change his mind, I was suppose to trade with him but I had nothing he wanted. I then just shut off the game and never touched it again.
My guess is you went down a tributary by mistake. Sometimes the river splits, and if you follow the wrong path you'll meet some unfriendly natives. Backtracking and going down the main river solves the problem.
Time to revisit it, then! ;)
the guys at 10:07 were wearing black because some brazilian indigenous ethnicities have full-black body painting as a form of graphism
As a brazilian born in Belem, this is freakin hilarious ahahahahah Totally off context
The crashing revenge happened to me a lot. There was a part that you didn’t get to or didn’t show of you exploring parts of the rainforest and clicking on different animals, one was at night and the lights would flash on and you’d have to find them
Wow I wasn't sure what to expect but a talking jaguar head medallion sending you to the amazon to pass a test by the ancients because you are the chosen one, that sure wasn't it.
I love the hard work that went into the editing in this video!
Remember when Ian had long hair? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
He looks cooler now
I think he looks better with short hair.
yeh he looked weird with long hair. it just wasnt him.but believe me he was still pretty cool!
Yes the days when he was portrayed by young steve buscemi
He has it again!
Your snark about Jaguar teachers and bananas gave me a much needed laugh. Thanks!
One of your best. I have the original amazon trail. Never could beat it cause I didnt know what the fuck was going on. Or what to do. It was a trying experience...
Absolutely LOVE the callback to the Oregon Trail 2 video.
Your hair gets better and better every new episode. I love it.
Right? I kinda want to just show a video to the guy next time I get a haircut and just be like "do this."
Loved the editing in this one, the bit with the background noises in the port made me laugh
So thats how people outside Brazil say "João". Interesting...
11:30 - Aw man, this was my favorite part of the game as a kid!! You get to go in and meet an old storyteller and hear a story.
At least we now know what a banana is, and what noises a seagull makes.
Those framed myst pictures on the wall. So sophisticated, love it.
8:58 "Release it" is an option? Do fish typically survive being impaled by spears?
These fish do; they get their strength from all the bananas they eat
I had this game when I was 7. I only recognized it when I saw the fishing mini-game. I also remember doing the quest for Teddy Roosevelt and actually finding him.
At 10:54 is that guy roasting a rock?
I like to think of it as a giant marshmallow.
I played this game back in the day, hes actually making rubber, which you can trade for- it actually has no ingame purpose, but you get a jaguar God token for helping him.
I think the real question is how he SHOVED THE SPIT THROUGH A FUCKING ROCK!
What? never ate bananas with rock? It's delicious!
it was rubber, from a tree if i remember correctly (it does look like a rock tho)
From what I remember, the Yukon trail was actually really fun. They didn't even bother to try a hunting game, but in truth, it didn't need one. Also, mot of the music in this video was from Yukon trail. I don't know if you've used this music before, but I thought it was a nice touch.
So did they ever make a trail of tears spin-off?
+creepypastard There actually was a game based on the Underground Railroad but it was pulled when people sued saying it was racist.
+Inspector Javert Shouldn't you be handling the French Revolution right now, Javert?
creepypastard I'm surprised the never made a WW II trail game. (lol)
Hello from the future! 👋🏻 In all seriousness, there's now games being developed based more closely on the Indigenous experiences of US expansion, such as When Rivers Where Trails, and now a remake of the Oregon Trail with input from actual Native American scholars
I got the 3rd edition of Amazon Trail, which had higher-resolution graphics, turned the intro into a complete cutscene instead of clicking through the museum, and from what I remember, the Jaguar was a bit more lenient over what you could do.
Jaguar god for president
Banana for pres
Miguel for president
As an American, and especially nowadays, I desperately want jaguar as president.
The funniest part about the Henry Ford segment: I read a book about Fordlandia many years after conquering this game, “Fordlandia” by Greg Grandin (I would recommend it), and it said that Ford never visited his namesake rubber plantation town. He always kept tabs on it through various supervisors in his employ, but he was saving his personal visit for when it was a success. It never was.
Y'know, this riverbank makes for a good resting place.
Nice to see Austin Eruption get a shout out and a video credit. Good shit
That Jaguar's voice is really distractingly Mufasa-sounding.
Ellie F every thing the light touches makes for a good resting place
Sh1t Ington But what about that piece of wood?
That's what I thought too! I'm looking forward to the remake of Lion King. I just hope they don't ruin it
I haven't played the sequels but the original Amazon Trail had him with a beautifully deep voice; this one sounds like he's talking through a can across time (still cool, though!)
@@RenaeA16 and it’s trash
It's a miracle anyone would be able to learn anything with the sound of a bird shrieking in your ear everytime someone is talking
See, mom !!! I am NOT the only one that pronounces jaguar like "jag-wire"
I actually had this game as a kid... The whole game's point is to get every token and then you get the "good" end. If you don't, Jaguar face gets sad and tells you to play again to get all the tokens... For an educational game, i actually remember learning something from this, it was about rubber trees. I was like 7 or so, so 14 years ago. My mom was a teacher and had a extra copy at home for us to play. The fishing was neat and different cause of all the neat fish it showed you, and the "thrill of seeing that huge fish and trying to get it", and you could go on land and collect plants and witness the wild life. For what the game set off to do, which was to educate children about the rain forest and historical facts about it, it was pretty competent. You look back at it now, of course its dumb, but its not like the Oregon trail, there was no (to my knowledge) big migration from one end of the river to the other so it couldn't have worked the same. It was just trying to educate using a similar method. But the stuff did get progressively offensive with their actors... but this was the nineties we are talking about. It has nostalgia to me and i was surprised to see a video on it. Sorry your copy didn't work! the game isnt that bad and the let down of a ending would have been funny.
10:08 black face, the best thing to do when you cant find an actor that's the appropriate color, im sure that wont offend anyone.
Holy wow. I spent so many hours of my childhood playing this game. I did beat it a few times. What a nostalgia trip. It's funny how it seemed so great back then.
9:24 actually convincing the brazilian government to do anythinhg is kinda impressive,our government tend to be a little stubborn most of the time.
seriously, they're hard to convince, this claudio guy is a fucking badass.
True dat, I was kind of ticked off that Ian kind of scoffed off that pretty epic historical figure.
I guess Ian's just not into history or Brazilian government...
eh,it's not entirely his fault, our country's history is not very well known
I played this game to the end multiple times as a kid... thanks for the nostalgia trip.
Oh man, I remember this game! I don't care what any of you say, that stupid spear fishing mini game was the best...or the very least, super addicting.
I would always see if I could catch a Bullshark..and I never did. Anyone know where I could find a copy/emulator of this?
You could find one on the internet, I heard that place is wonderful.
Jonathan Crane Well yeah, but I was wondering if anyone had any specific recomendations to narrow my search down.
The Gentlesaurian Velocidapper torrentz
The Gentlesaurian Velocidapper This guy knows what's up.
I got the bull shark a few times. My favorite to catch was the piarucu. That thing could feed you for a month!
I vaguely remember the Amazon Trail and of course the Oregon Trail. I went to a ghetto school back in the early 2000s (the school district put the Gifted & Talented program there to make the school's test scores look better) and they still had Mac Classics then.
At least I know what a banana is.
Artemis the Huntress "The gods sent me to save something and go on a long journey on the Amazon, but I don't know what a banana is!"
Camioup Do not fear, mortal! I, the goddess Artemis, shall provide you with knowledge of this odd yellow plantlife in the Amazon. Nothing else, just bananas. You're welcome.
Amazon Trail 3 was my jam as a kid. I still love playing that game to this day.
Anyone else getting Legends of the Hidden Temple-vibe from this game?
Dude, I remember this game! As a child, I distinctly remember helping Ford enslave the natives, and the jaguar god got super pissed and yelled at me. I cried for the entire night.
3:46 gets me every time.
This is like the 5th time I watched this video but I've gotta say this has some of my favorite editing.
You Sure it was an accident?
Carricx Piece of wood.
There's an Amazon Trail 3, for those who aren't aware.
It's basically the same as Amazon Trail 2, just with smoother animation (I guess), a few different cinematics, and for some reason only two tour guides to choose from instead of four. Miguel and the big spear lady were cut.
