Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

The Amazon Trail is a rather strange computer spinoff of Oregon Trail. Your basic concept is to collect tokens on a medallion by doing tasks told to you by a jaguar spirit while traveling through time. In between, you take hundreds of photographs of local wildlife. It's about as weird as it sounds, although still pretty enjoyable. Although the fishing just isn't as fun as gunning down buffalo.


Tropes Used By The Amazon Trail:[]

Cquote1

 "So long, sucker!!"

Cquote2
  • Lost Forever: You can catch a pirarucu, a fish that's as long as a bus. It only swims by once, but it takes up half the screen and if you don't catch it, that's your problem.
  • No Indoor Voice: Some of the locals.
  • The Slacker: If you choose the guide who's a man for your journey "You can fish, I think I'll just take a nap"
  • Time Travel: Throw in a lost Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Ford, a wily pirarucu, some hunger-crazed pirates, and a greedy oil tycoon throughout several centuries...
  • Vomit Discretion Shot: You can tell that the crazed conquistador is throwing up, but they don't show it on the screen.
  • What Year Is This?: Answered by the locals.
    • Interestingly, it's phrased "what is today's date" in the Dialogue Tree, but everyone always knows to specify the year.
      • Even more bizarre is one stop where one person you talk to says it is the rainy season while another is experiencing the dry season. Usually everyone at a particular location is from the same time.
