Ok, all you boys and girls.  Cool game here.  Maybe Sierra will make their 
games better now to catch up with this one.  This is for the NAUGHTY level, 
Expert - Very Difficult level. 

You start out in the main control room of your ship.  Look at viewscreen.  
DOWN.  Get the binoculars off of the poster.  Open the refrigerator.  Get the 
glowing green burger.  DOWN. Get the timer module off of the table.  Get the 
rebreather off of the floor next to the table.  UP.  Climb up the ladder to 
get outside of your ship.

Now you're swimming around.  RIGHT.  You should see a dead fish on the ocean 
floor.  Pick it up.  Put the burger in the fish.  DOWN.  RIGHT.  A purple 
tentacle will come out of a small hole and eat a fish.  Throw the fish at it. 
Wow, you killed it!  Now you can go into the cave.  RIGHT.  UP.  You'll climb 
out of the water.

Now you're on land.  RIGHT.  UP.  On the lower left corner you should see 
some leaves sitting in a pile on the ground close to the pit. Pick them up 
and put them on the pit.  A trap!  How ingenius!  LEFT.  Go into the voodoo 
hut.  Pick up the poison darts off of the table.  DOWN.  LEFT.  LEFT.  A 
monkey will clock you on the head with a fruit, dance on your chest, and take 
your binoculars.  We'll fix him later.  LEFT.  You'll see a woman doing 
laundry outside.  Talk to her.  Tell her you're a real man.  She'll have you 
answer some questions.  Tell her you are shipwrecked here.  When she asks you 
about the torque wrench, say "Tool to measure angular force".  Then she'll 
ask you about where to put the forks on a table.  Say, "They go wherever they 
land when I throw them."  She'll invite you inside to show you a good time. 
When the guards are all done watching you, you'll be able to walk around. 
Grab a twinkifruit from the sack on the right.  DOWN.  RIGHT.  RIGHT.  RIGHT.
Put the twinkifruit on your trap.  A big fat bouncing cavewoman will come and 
fall in.  Now you can get past her, otherwise she eats you.  RIGHT.  There's 
a plant shoot lying on the ground on the right.  Pick it up and put the 
poison darts in it.  Now use the blowgun to hose the monkey down. He'll fall 
down and run off.  Get your binoculars.  Told ya we'd fix him!  LEFT.  UP. 
UP.  Get the two bones lying next to the skull.  Climb up the ladder and use 
the binoculars to look north.  A guard will punch in a number sequence and 
teleport away.  WRITE IT DOWN.  UP. Enter the teleporter.  Punch in the 
number sequence, then hit the smiley face.

questions until all options are exhausted.  She'll leave to go see what the
