The Amazon Trail, released in 1993 by MECC for MS-DOS and Macintosh, is an educational adventure game and a spin-off of The Oregon Trail. Set in the lush and perilous Amazon rainforest, players take on the role of a time-traveling explorer sent back to help the Inca people by delivering a critical message. Along the way, they must navigate the river, fish for food, trade with villagers, avoid illness, and identify jungle flora and fauna. The game blends survival mechanics with history, geography, and science, offering encounters with historical figures and native wildlife. Known for its rich educational content and atmospheric presentation, The Amazon Trail was a staple of 1990s school computer labs.
