Joe wore a big red cap with a wavy bit going up, and would tell jokes sent in by ''Beano'' readers, who would originally win a '' Dennis the Menace'' cycle helmet if their joke were published. Later on came Joe's Joke Corner which would occupy a corner of the page (usually Billy Whizz and Crazy for Daisy), again featuring jokes from ''Beano'' readers, as did Anyone Got Any Jokes? from 2001, and also Joe King's Top 40 Joke Box.

''Flight of the Amazon Queen'' is a graphical point-and-click adventure game by Interactive Binary Illusions, originally released in 1995 for Amiga and MS-DOS. The game was re-released as freeware in 2004 for use with ScummVM. In January 2022, a sequel was announced, titled '' Return of the Amazon Queen''. Development The game was developed on Amiga 500 using AMOS and ported to C for release on MS-DOS. The game engine was called JASPAR: while developers had read about Lucasfilm's SCUMM, the engine was designed in a different way. Deluxe Paint was used for art. Gameplay is very similar in style to many of LucasArts' popular point-and-click adventures of the 1990s, and was inspired by ''Monkey Island''. The game was inspired by the Indiana Jones film ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'': while the developers knew there was an adventure game of Indiana Jones, at the time it was dismissed as a movie tie-in. Plot In 1949, Joe King, pilot for hire and owner of the ''Amazon Queen'' airpla ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
