Description of Amazon
Offering adventure in a world of interactive fiction with graphics, puzzle-solving, sci-fi / futuristic, Amazon is an abandonware developed by Telarium Corp. and published by Telarium Corp.. Released in 1984, you wander around in a perspective.
As an agent of the NSRT (National Satellite Resources Technology), you happen to be the first witness of the sad fate suffered by all members of an archeological expedition sent to uncover the fabled Lost City of Chak. Apparently, the whole expedition was murdered by a tribe of cannibals. And guess what? Now YOU are the one who has to travel to the Amazon to uncover the mystery...And that's only the beginning of your problems. Mysterious people are trying to kill you. Professor Benekker, an expert on the Amazon who was supposed to accompany you, turns up dead. As a replacement, you'll end up with his highly-intelligent (but highly-obnoxious) parrot, Paco. Be prepared to face wild animals, savage tribes, guerillos, and even a live volcano, as you make your way to the remnants of the expedition and the Lost City. Contrary to what many people think, this game isn't based on any actual story by Michael Crichton. It's an original game on which Mr. Crichton worked even before Telarium contacted him. If you compare it to similar games from the same period, Amazon stands out with its "story-driven" plot, which somewhat compensates for the CGA graphics and Telarium's ackward parser.

I was having fun playing this text adventure, but once I woke up in the jungle, after getting lost and the computer starts beeping, It will not let me contact Nsrt ( or whatever the company is called ). I think the computer input codes are broken in the game or something, at least with DOSbox anyway.
Basically what happens is when trying to use the computer it says there is no emergency. If anyone figure out how to get past that part let me know.

My dad bought this game for me for my IBM PCjr back in 1985 or so. I played to the same point and had the same problem. We took it back to the store and I remember playing the game in the store to the jungle where you could not continue to prove to the salesman that the game was broken. They refunded our money. So it's not DOSbox or the copy of the game that's here for download, my original copy had the same issue 26 years ago.
