No there isn't, sadly. I don't think ScummVM would do justice to the music anyway - it certainly doesn't with its Amiga support for the LucasArts games! There's always WinUAE - an Amiga emulator for Windows. The Amiga CD32 version of BASS (essentially a slightly cut-down version of the PC-CD version) is available from Back to the Roots, and I'm sure a cough-cough version of Flight of the Amazon Queen wouldn't be too contentious if the PC version is now freeware...

Pipes are the arteries of this mighty erection, indeed... BEST! Also noteworthy was the voice of Hobbs, the dour engineer guy - "I thought about redecoratin', but I couldn't be ARSED!" What amused me most, though, was the fact that Foster, with his new-found American accent, was supposed to say things like "It's WELL SMART!" which is, you know, not the sort of thing you expect your average American to say!

Finally (and the main reason for making another post to this thread, oops!) - the main resource file in the downloadable FOTAQ (CD version) is a lot smaller than the version I had previously (by over 100MB!). Anyone got any idea why?

Maybe they recompressed the sound files using modern technologies or something...

I believe they said they used mp3 compression this time around.
