Amazon: Guardians of Eden is a point-and-click adventure game for MS-DOS published by Access Software in 1992. It is one of the first games with Super VGA graphics, digitized voice-overs, and an online (in game) hint system. The game was re-released on GOG.com in July 2021.

Plot

Amazon is an adventure game set in a 1957 expedition into the heart of the Amazon forest. The game follows the explorer on a perilous search through a land where legends come to life, danger hides behind every corner, and incredible treasures wait to be discovered.

Reception

Computer Gaming World wrote that beyond "masterful" graphics and sound, "Access has clearly carried their excellent story far beyond anything produced by Hollywood in its naive years". It approved of Amazon: Guardians of Eden "avoid[ing] the insulting, often embarrassingly sophomoric fashion in which women are reduced to objects of bestial lust, as is commonly the case in this genre ... parents who are only concerned with a game's sexual content need have no concerns over Amazon". The magazine concluded that the game was an "outstanding piece of work". The game was reviewed in 1993 in Dragon #193 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 5 out of 5 stars.
