                Taken from the Public Domain

                    1 ... Getting Started
Problem:
How do I get past customs?
Hint:
Select the passport and immunization card and click them on the
Custom's Official. If the tutorial has started, do each action the
game asks you to.  Click on each message to get to the next
instruction.

Problem:
Where is my immunization card?
Hint:
It has slipped down inside your passport. Open your inventory and
click the hand icon on your passport. You will find your card.


Problem:
Where do I find Nicanor?
Hint:
Nicanor, a man from the Ecology Emergency Network, is holding up a
sign near the customs exit.  Click the talk icon on him or walk
near him and he'll introduce himself. If you just walk near him,
you will not get points, but the game will advance.

Problem:
Dad is busy with Nicanor. What do I do next?
Hint:
Explore this screen and the one to the east. Look at everything
and talk to everyone. Although you don't have to do all of the
things here to make the game advance, you will learn extra
information and earn additional points by exploring thoroughly.

Problem:
I see two guys talking behind some crates near the launch.  How do
I get close enough to hear what they're talking about?

Hint:
The men standing by the crates are employees of Maxim Slaughter,
the man who bribed the Customs Official. They are talking
privately, so you will have to sneak up on them. Click the hand
icon on the crates to climb up and overhear their conversation.

Problem:
How do I get close enough to be heard by the old fisherman?
Hint:
The old fisherman is a little deaf, however, Adam doesn't want to
walk near his smelly catch. Go west to the first screen and walk
out on the pier from there.

Problem:
How do I deal with the parrot peddler?
Hint:
He will appear every other time you enter this screen and walk in
front of the crates.  You can buy the parrot any time you see him.
Just select money from your inventory and click it on the peddler.
After the parrot flies away the peddler will leave and not return.

Problem:
How do I stop the litterer?
Hint:
He won't stop. Click the garbage bag icon on his trash to clean it
up. If you leave the screen and come back, or if you are on the
pier with the fisherman when you see him, the trash will blow away
before you can return. The litterer will be in the screen every
other time you go there, so you have more chances to get the trash.

Problem:
What do I do with the package Dad has?
Hint:
Click the hand icon on the package and it will open. It's an
Ecorder, a hand held computer. Once you open the package, the
Ecorder is in your inventory. Dad will give you a demonstration of
how to use it. If you forget how to use it, there is a complete
description and diagram in "Adam's Eco News," your game
documentation.

Problem:
What do I do with the Ecorder?
Hint:
Select it from inventory. Go to the next screen and run its cursor
over the launch where gas is leaking. The cursor lights up when
something is found.  Click the cursor while it is lit up and you
will get a message that it is recording.  Go into your inventory
and click the inventory hand icon on the Ecorder. Then you can turn
it on and go to the screen that contains the information on "River
Traffic," the item you recorded. If you have trouble using the
Ecorder, your game documentation called "Adam's Eco News" has a
complete description and a diagram. Remember to use the Ecorder on
every screen. You get a point each time you record a fact and it
makes some of the puzzles easier to solve. You will get extra
points the first time you successfully take the Ecorder quiz.  You
can take the quiz as many times as you like. Now walk back to Dad.
