Frame 12
You enter a lagoon and see a canoe tied to a dock.  Waiting in the boat is a native boatsman.  You ask him for a ride and he replies, "Of course, but only if you pay me by performing a task."
Q:  Find an icon on the screen above and Click on it.

You correctly identify an icon, but the boatman replies by saying, "Sorry, I didn't realize it was getting so late.  I'm off duty now.  Try again tomorrow."  With that said, he walks on into the village.

The witch doctor says, "Right!  I haven't the time to give guided island tours, but I will say that you are very close to the native village."  Before you can ask another question, he disappears behind a tree.  You think about following, but there is no trace of him!  (Click on an arrow to continue your quest.)
"That's not quite right," the witch doctor says.  "Why don't you check your Windows Guidebook, it will tell you what it means to minimize, try again."

Frame 18
The smell of fertilized soil fills the air as you gaze across rows of crops, ready for harvest.  A native farmer is hard at work.  As she welcomes you, you notice that her gaze falls to your feet.  You tell of your search and she refers you to her chief.  She then tells you that she will reveal where he is if you answer a question.
Q:  What command do you type at the MS-DOS prompt to start Windows?  Type the command at the MS-DOS prompt displayed above, then press the ENTER key.

The farmer thanks you for answering correctly, telling you that the chief and her native village lie to the east.  You thank her for helping and wish her well with her farming.
No.  You might want to brush upon your Windows knowledge in the Windows Guidebook before visiting the chief.  What command do you type at the MS-DOS prompt to start Windows?

Frame 19
After walking some distance, you enter the edge of what looks like a native village.  You ask a family nearby to tell you how you might meet the chief.  They resist at first, unsure of your intentions, but then decide to offer you a chance to gain their help.
Q:  How much memory comes in a standard Compaq Presario 400 series computer?  Type your answer above and press the ENTER key.

Right!  Your skills are obvious and the chief will be happy to meet with you now.  They tell you that he is immediately east adding, as they smile at your Jammer hi-tops, that you should be prepared to bargain.
Sorry, that's not correct.  Check your Compaq Presario Guidebook and try again before I will take you to meet the chief.

Frame 20
As you look for the chief, you find a native with more colorful attire than the others.  He introduces himself as the chief of these people as he stares at your shoes.  The chief tells you that he will trade information in exchange for your Jammer hi-tops.  Since you have a spare set of hi-tops, you consider the chief's proposal.  They are, however, your favorite, well worn pair of red hi-tops.
Q:  Do you hand over the shoes? (Click on your answer above.)
You reluctantly hand over your hi-tops.  Pleased, the chief says:  "Many generations ago, my people traded with pirates who spoke of settling down in a secret place.  One day the mountain shot fire into the sky, and the pirates stopped coming.  My people have always feared the caves on this island, for it is said,  they are haunted with ghost pirates.  I will take you to the cave entrance.  From there you are on your own.  (Click anywhere on the screen to continue.)

The chief looks disappointed at your choice to keep the shoes.  He says that you will never find the pirates without his information.  He says, "I will be waiting here, should you change your mind."

Frame 33
This jungle is alive with the sound of birds.  You notice a colorful toucan staring at you.  To your surprise, he speaks:  "I can tell you something interesting if you help me.  All of my food is in one large pile and I cannot tell what I have.  This is what it is like when you have a window with more items in it than can be shown at once."
Q:  Show me how to see the other items in my window by clicking on the SCROLL BAR in the picture.

"That's right.  Now I remember.  A bargain is a bargain.  Legend has it that many years ago the natives frequently traded with pirates."  (Click on an arrow to search the island for more clues to the pirate hideaway.)
No, I tried that earlier and it didn't work.  One thing I didn't do is look in my Windows Guidebook.  When you find out how to see the other items in my window, show me by clicking on the SCROLL BAR again.

Frame 34
While trying to avoid the muck in this marsh, an abandoned canoe with worn-out fishing gear and a book titled "Growing Crops in Tropical Climates" can be seen nearby.  (Click on an arrow in the lower right to explore the island some more.)

Q:  (You must answer this question correctly to continue).  Click on the valid MS- DOS filename from the list above.

The hermit yells, "You are correct and know your MS-DOS very well, but I'm not known for keeping my end of a bargain.  I'll forgive you for trespassing, but that's all.  Now beat it."  (Click on an arrow to continue your treasure hunt.)
The hermit chuckles and says, "Nope!  You'll get nothing out of me!  Feel free to try again.  Try the MS-DOS Guidebook for File information, then click on a valid DOS filename from the list above."

The footprints on this beach were obviously not made by your Jammer hi-tops, and they are fresh.  You guess that they were probably made by the natives you seek.  Following the footprints leads you to a most unusual newspaper vending machine.
Q:  Click on the vending machine handle to open it and get a newspaper.

After you get your paper, you find that most of it is unreadable since it is written in another language.  You can, however, make out a few headlines:  "CHIEF WOMBOTOMBO:  'I'm tired of coconut juice!'", "PALM EXPRESS WINS ISLAND CANOE CUP RACE:  Officials question size of paddles.", "STUDIES SHOW COCONUT INCREASES LIFE SPAN", "ALIENS TO OPEN CHAIN OF CLOTHING STORES."

Frame 43
You are on the southern coast on one of the Silicon Islands.  As far as you can see, the island curves to the east.  In front of you, you find traces of an old campfire.  Beyond the campfire, a worn path extends into the jungle.  You see nothing else of interest here.  To explore the island, select a direction by clicking on the appropriate arrow key in the lower right.  Don't forget to look at the map in the lower right above the arrows. 





Frame 44
Walking along the beach, you discover a beached dolphin.  To your surprise, he speaks:  "Hi stranger," he says, "My name is Blue and I have a slight problem.  Would you please move me back into the water?  Moving me back into the water is like moving a window in Windows."
Q:  Move the Games window by clicking on the title bar and dragging it to another location and I will move back into the water and be free to swim again (Hint:  It's blue like me).  If you will help me do this, I will give you a clue that may help you find what you are looking for."

Great job!  Blue calls to you, "There were once some natives that lived on this part of the island.  Lately, I've noticed fires on the other side of the island, so I think they have built a new village there."  He then thanks you for freeing him as he swims off into deeper waters.  (Click on an arrow to continue exploring.) 
The dolphin says "Try to move the window again please, I'd love to return to the deep water.  Your Windows Guidebook can help you."

Frame 45
The sand on this beach is extremely soft and white.  It is so white, in fact, that the reflection of the sun blinds you.  This problem, however, is easily solved as you slip on your sunglasses.  Now that you can see, you notice a shiny gold coin at your feet.  To pick up the coin, move your cursor to it and click the left mouse button.  You see nothing else of interest here, click on an arrow to explore the island some more.





Frame 46
Yuck!  Looking down in disgust, you notice mud from this marsh messing up your favorite pair of Jammer hi-tops.
