Upon reaching the hidden city in which the Inca are living, players are graded on various aspects of the game, including the amount of personal activity on the journey, the number of plants and animals correctly identified in the rainforest, whether or not they acquired additional gifts for the Inca King, and, depending on the version of the game, the amount of time taken, the health of the player, and the completion of mini-quests. Many of these figures have interesting items which can be acquired in trade for food, clothing, etc. The player is given a good feel for the differing attitudes and clashing roles portrayed by the encountered individuals, pertaining to the history of the Amazon. Historical figures appear, such as Henry Ford, Theodore Roosevelt, and Claude Lévi-Strauss. The timeframe spans from the then-present (1993) back to the Middle Ages. Often, the duo offer conflicting information and advice. Upon arriving at a landmark, the option is given of talking to two people, typically one native and one Westerner. Before arriving at a new town or tributary, players pass through a "blue mist" over the river (a line of fog across the screen). Paddling up the wrong tributary for too long will result in being captured by headhunters or western explorers.Ī unique aspect of the game is the element of traveling back in time, which allows the user to learn historical information in addition to science. The player can contract a variety of diseases (including malaria and yellow fever), requiring multiple days of rest to recover. When fishing one has to be wary of spearing an electric eel or stingray as this may lead to a loss of health (though the latter is regarded as edible). Capsizing could lead to loss of supplies and injury, or even cause the player to drown resulting in an instant game over. In order to aid in identification, each time a picture is taken or fish caught, the player has the option of checking the guide, which lists all of the species in the game except for the "new species". Players must navigate the treacherous waters of the Amazon to avoid hitting other boats, logs, and whirlpools or paddling up the wrong tributary, travel through the forest in search of exotic plants and animals to photograph and identify, use harpoons to fish in the river and then identify whether the catch is edible, and trade with the individuals encountered at the various stops along the river. Players may come across various people along the river, taking photographs of the flora and fauna of the area, fishing, and canoeing.
