***Legend of the Amazon Women*** is a beat 'em up video game and
published by U.S. Gold and Mastertronic in 1986 for Amstrad CPC,
Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum.
***Plot***
The player takes role of Lady Wilde, a woman stranded in the middle of
the Amazon Rainforest after a terrible plane crash, whose baby child has
been stolen by a tribe of wild Amazons. In order to rescue her daughter
she must fight her way through the jungle, defeating every Amazon
standing in her path.
***Controversy***
Game author Simon Ffinch recalls: "Ah one of the most infamous pieces of
cover art - Quite apart from it being plain terrible (someone wrote at
the time it should have been called "Leg end of the Amazon Women") it
misrepresented the game in the most appalling way. I had no control
over that and absolutely hated it. Whatever you may think of this game
I was actually quite proud of what I managed to pull off technically
here. There is actually a lot going on. The characters are build up
from sets of legs, arms and a weapon that are shared, the leg in the
back being drawn one pixel higher and at a different stage of the
animation than the one in the front. A torso and Head that was unique
to the player character and the amazons. This was to save memory. I
was very tight on memory in general on this one. I even hid some data
in the sky that cannot be seen because the pixel and background
colours are the same."
