Amazon was released as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games collection, though it originally came out in the early 1990s. It was developed by D. Gottlieb and Co. and published by Software Country, and it fits right in with the kind of exploratory, action-oriented titles that were common on DOS at the time. The game doesn't hold your hand or offer much explanation; it just drops you into its world and expects you to figure things out.

You control an explorer making your way through a maze-like jungle, screen by screen, using a machete to cut through dense vegetation blocking your path. Your main goal is to find a series of ancient artifacts hidden throughout the environment while avoiding hazards like quicksand, hostile animals, and traps. The pacing is deliberate, almost tense, as you move carefully to avoid sudden threats, and the difficulty can be punishing if you rush. It feels immersive and isolating, like you're truly on your own in an unpredictable wilderness.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
