256k Support On 256k machines, the two parts can be played one after the other, plus the images are cached.


Release Notes
Bugfixes:
  • The colors were wrong. It's the most obvious fix.

  • GET ALL/DROP ALL command was buggy. There was a table containing a flag whether a particular object is moveable, these tables were never entered.

  • The QUIT command used to hang the machine. Now it properly resets.

  • In part two, there was a fatal bug that made the game impossible to complete. This was fixed by Litwr.

  • In part two, the last 10 or so pictures were simply missing, and also made the game impossible to complete. These were restored from the C=64 version.

  • In part two, when the player died, the wrong picture was shown.


Additional features:
  • Rendering engine improvement. Pictures and text are drawn about twice as fast.

  • Picture caching. On 256k machines, all pictures (except dynamic ones) are cached. On stock 64k machines, two or three pictures are cached. When pictures are restored from the cache, they only take about 3 frames to render (vs 60+ frames).

  • On 256k machines, it's possible to play through both parts from beginning to end.

  • After the part two is won, the original game gave a list of codes. This version actually includes the full decoded epilogue.

  • The F keys are set to common commands.


Instructions
There are some system words to control the game:
- SAVE GAME to save your position to the tape, during the hurrican this is not available
- YOHO to save your position anytime (in Part 1)
- INVENTORY to list your objects carrying
- QUIT to give up the game


Solutions - Complete
Here is the complete solution by MCG:

Savage Island Part 1:

(At start you are on a beach by the Ocean. A large stone head is here. You have a watch that counts your steps. Note that you can carry maximum 6 objects simultaneously.)
DROP WATCH
LOOK HEAD (It's weird.)
GO HEAD (On top of the head, offshore is an atoll.)
D (On a beach by the Ocean. A large stone head is here.)
E (On a beach by the Ocean. Palm trees are here.)
GO PALM (In The top of a tree. Coconuts are here.)
GET COCONUTS
D (On a beach by the Ocean. Palm trees are here.)
W (On a beach by the Ocean. A large stone head is here.)
DROP COCONUTS
LOOK JUNGLE (You can see trees, wild animals, vines.)
DIG (How?)
WITH HANDS
LOOK SAND (I see a hole.)
EXAMINE HOLE (Found a bottle of rum.)
GET BOTTLE
S (On a plain.)
GO VOLCANO (On the rim of an extinct volcano. It is had work. Note that you are sweatting, that is salty after volcano climbing.)
EXAMINE VOLCANO (You see a bear and a cave. The poor beast has been trapped in the crater for years and is deficient in a certain mineral that only you can supply. Beware of the bear! When you are sweatting or nervous (look your inventory: there is Sweat), then the bear can sense your smell and it kills you! To avoid this, you have to have a bath in the lake after you have dropped all your objects. Save the game frequently from now on and avoid the bear until you can supply his needs another way.)

GO VOLCANO (In a volcano.)
DROP BOTTLE (You can't carry anything across the lake without assistance.)
GO LAKE (In a lake.)
SWIMM EAST (In a volcano.)
GET BOTTLE
GO CAVE (In a cave.)
EMPTY BOTTLE IN BASIN
E (In a volcano.)
DROP BOTTLE
GO LAKE (In a lake.)
SWIMM WEST (West of the lake on a secluded ledge on the volcano wall.)
GO CREVICE (On the edge of a cliff outside the volcano.)
JUMP (On a beach by the Ocean, a cliff is to the west.)
E (On a beach by the Ocean. A large stone head is here.)
SAVE GAME (Save your position in the game first!)

WAIT (If the hurricane hasn't started, it will. Hurricane Alexis hits island. This time the bear escapes in the cave. At some stage you will hear a CRASH, which is a palm tree falling over. If hurricane is simply too much for you, say "YOHO" to save your position in the game, but you can survive the storm the hard way.)
E (On a beach by the Ocean. When you can not hear CRASH! just go W and E again. Yes, it is dangerous to move in a hurricane but as far as I know you don't have a choice.)
GET LOG (This would come in handy for ferrying goods across the lake.)
W (On a beach by the Ocean. A large stone head is here.)
S (On a plain.)

SWIMM WEST (West of the lake on a secluded ledge on the volcano wall.)
DROP BOTTLE
E (In a lake.)

GO CAVE (In a cave.)
GO CREVICE (On the edge of a hot rocky cliff outside the volcano.)
EMPTY BOTTLE (You have to wait till the puddle dries and become a pile of salt.)
YOHO

WAIT (The puddle dries and remains a pile of salt.)
WAIT (If it is getting dark then you have to go to secluded ledge to sleep.)
GET SALT
GO CREVICE (In a cave.)

Congratulations, You've finished Savage Island!

Decoded message:

   After resealing the wayward seed controller back in its case, the robopirate continues to execute its main programming. Strangely, none of the master race are around, but the seed specimens are fine in the storage hold.     A strange looking creature is found wandering in the ship. Looking somewhat like the seed specimens the robopirate decides to treat it as such and temporarily stores it away in the hold.
Continuing with its programming, the robopirate lands the ship on the blue-green planet it is currently orbiting. It then proceeds to hide the ship and rearrange the interior slightly. The engine and control compartment is separated and launched off into deep space. The seed specimens are then released from the display cases in the storage hold. The colony prospers and the strange specimen originally found wandering the ship becomes their chief. Strangely enough, the chief's offspring look more like him than they do his assorted wives! Checking the planet the robopirate finds one lone wandering dinosaur. Being the last of its species, the robopirate stores it away in a now vacant display case. All looks well and the robot closes the now hidden ship and powers itself off.
100,000 years pass and a timer reactivates the robot, which then goes to implement its final programming in the timeswap plan. The plan: make sure a current inhabitant is tricked into going back in time to eradicate the giant reptiles (for the robot is completely unable to harm or kill any living being.)
Later, with a slight robotic chuckle, the robot realizes the strange twist of fate which awaits the specimen he chooses. For it is obvious now that the Neanderthal sleeping in the display case these 100,000 years has the brains and personality of the chosen victim. Yet it is the victim's own genes which help launch the race of Man (after first ridding the world of the dinosaur!) Slayer of the dinosaur and father of all mankind, the world's greatest hero now rests in the body of a prehistoric caveman. Who knows what great adventures await him in the future?
