1.  The Titanic and surrounding areas.

You naturally realize the Titanic is in danger of hitting the
iceberg and sinking shortly, but before rushing into a lifeboat,
make sure you have a knife with you.  When you are in the lifeboat
cut the rope, and also open the kit you can see under the seat,
and get everything in it.  Wear the safety harness, then
wait ..........

Read the markings in the Squeaky Cave, and use this phrase to open
the E wall of the Hex Cave.  Before going E you will have to go SW
to the Shallow Cleft.  Do this by crawling and by tying the rope
to the flashlight.  Drop all, get rope and crawl SW.  Pull the
rope to drag the flashlight through, then get the stake.  By the
time you get to the Chasm you will be feeling a tad peckish, so
eat the banana and then put the stake in the ground, tie rope to
stake, throw rope into Chasm, climb down rope.  Yes, you WILL have
to "jump" and sustain frightful damage, but never fear, grab your
flashlight and soldier on to.........

2.  The Alien Saucer.

You'll soon be feeling hungry again, so after finding your way
into the Saucer, find the Life Support Room, and eat the contents
of the bottle (smash bottle) for a permanent hunger-stopper.  Next
on the agenda is fixing your injuries, so get into the Tube in the
Ship's Lab, and throw the flashlight at the green button.  If at
first you don't succeed, try, try again.  Now you can nip outside
again to find the Zoo, and retrieve the bit of blue fur in the
cage, for reasons which will become clear later.  Remember to
switch your flashlight off while in the saucer - it gets dimmer
pretty rapidly.  In the Bridge remove the spacesuit from the
Alien, and hang onto it - no need to wear it yet.  In the Ship's
Systems room you activate the screen by typing 1-4.  There are 4
changes of screen with 4 different messages.  From these screens
you will get the general idea of what the Saucer was here for, the
code number to open the panel in the Time Chamber, and a future
year for your Time Travel.  Also note the warning not to leave
anything behind, either on earth or the moon, when you finally
"leave".  You will find a gun in the Supply Chamber, for use down
in the cargo holds, when the Creature locks you in a cage.  "Shoot
chain with gun" will free you.  And stop worrying about the Egg -
I suspect it's ungettable. If you push the buttons in the Sleep
Chamber the game crashes - whether a deliberate joke by the author
or an accidental bug, it doesn't affect the game at all, except
for irritation value.

3.  Teleporting through Time.

You will need the box inside the panel for your return trips.
Select the year and day to travel to by turning the 2 dials on the
chair.  When you finally get the hang of it, you need to get the
piece of wire from the Crater Floor.  Try a few times, as you will
be randomly robbed of your possessions - leave everything else on
the Wooden Bridge while you get the wire.  Next, go a LONG way E
along the Deserted Road (about 10 moves) until you reach a road
going S. Go S and wander around the building until you find the
Basement, where you will have to open the cabinet with the wire.
Get all, and wear the helmet, which cannot be worn simultaneously
with the spacesuit.  Next find the Ladder Room, and climb the
ladder to emerge on the Roof.  Here's a strange vehicle, ready and
waiting......

4. Flying the Shuttle.

This bit is truly maddening; you can insert the key in the
keyhole, press the white button, and turn the key furiously....and
nothing happens.  Try "fly up".  When you have become bored with
the bird's-eye view of the scenery, try flying up again to get
above the clouds, then wander around until you spot a likely place
to land.  Land shuttle, get the key (remember the warning about
leaving bits and pieces scattered about!) and exit the shuttle.
Now would be a suitable time to wear the Spacesuit instead of the
helmet.  Wander around the Dark Corridors until you reach the Food
Supply, where the Creature will chase you - unless you relish the
idea of becoming a meal, keep moving, and push the switch on the
box.

5.  Back on the Saucer

You have teleported the Creature back with you, but don't worry,
head for the Engine Room and press the red button there.  (You
were wearing the spacesuit, weren't you??) This will activate the
radiation screen, which melts the Creature to reveal the tape he
has swallowed.  Go to the Bridge (no, not the Wooden one) and
insert the tape in the slot under the screen, which is found by
examining the controls.  Examine the screen, and that's the date
for your final Teleport home, back to dear old San Francisco and
the end of the game!  If you have not got a perfect 1000/1000,
it's because you have left some litter somewhere or haven't
explored some locations.
