In this small game, you play as the current champion of Krakatoa Survivor Challenge. To defend your title, you must assemble a tuna melt sandwich from materials on the island. May the best contestant win!
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 2 of the game.
Biff stays at the camp. Russ and Kari will wander around randomly. You can ignore them entirely, or examine them later. Don't worry if they seem to get ingredients before you do; they'll never actually complete their own sandwiches.
You don't need the crystal to win; only for an alternate ending.

Extras
Characters
Biff Bradclaw is the host of Krakatoa Survivor Challenge. You don't like him much; he comes across as smarmy.
Kari Knott is a contestant. She's a waitress from Toledo.
Russ Rohoho is another contestant. He's a talk show host from Hawaii.
A baker and his baby are in the bakery. The baker's on duty. The baby is sleeping.
Emil Petit is a Frenchman stranded in time in the hidden clearing.
Some cows and sheep are grazing in the meadow. One sheep, however, has sadly died on the lonely hill.
Some tuna fish are swimming in the lagoon. They are such a tease.
Also, monkeys and parrots can be heard occasionally as you wander around the island.
Endings
You have died
if you stay too long at the lip of the volcano (you pass out from the heat and fall in),
if you put the crystal into the volcano (the world explodes), or
if you jump into the volcano. Why would you do that?
You have won
if you show a complete tuna melt sandwich to Biff.
Note: You can lock yourself out of victory if you give the crystal to Emil before you've obtained some cheese. Emil will use the crystal to repair his time machine and leave in it. Without the time machine being available, you can't make cheese.
Inventory
a bag of popcorn. It's on the beach. At the lagoon, give some popcorn to the swimming fish to catch one.
a glowing green crystal. It's in a black box that's attached to the back end of a cannon in the village.
Caution: If you put the crystal in the volcano, the entire world explodes!
After making and obtaining cheese, feel free to give this crystal to Emil. He will repair his time bubble with it and both will disappear.
a five liter bottle. It's in the village and empty. Go to the meadow and, while holding the bottle, milk the animals. The bottle will now be holding a large quantity of milk. In the hidden clearing, put the milk in the bubble.
a baguette. It's in the bakery. It's assumed you have the money to buy it when you take it. The baguette represents the sandwich you're trying to make in every stage of its construction.
First, put a deboned tuna fish on the baguette.
Second, put cheese on the baguette.
Third, go to the lip of the volcano, drop the sandwich and immediately leave. The heat will melt the cheese and your sandwich is complete.
Fourth, return to the lip, pick up the sandwich, then go back to the Challenge camp and show the sandwich to Biff to win the game.
a pointy stick. It's in the deep forest. Although the game seems to suggest catching a fish with the stick, the stick is actually useless to you. You cannot catch a fish with it.
a sharp rock. Take it from the mountainside. Treat it as a knife. You can even refer to it as "knife".
Cut the tuna fish you caught with the rock. The fish is now deboned, and you can put it on the bread.
Cut the stomach of the dead sheep with the rock. You can now carry the stomach and more importantly, its rennet.
a stomach containing a quantity of rennet. It's part of the dead sheep on the lonely hill. Cut the stomach with the sharp rock to detach the stomach from the sheep. In the hidden clearing, put the rennet in the bubble.
a fresh tuna fish. Obtain it by giving some popcorn to the fish swimming in the lagoon. Debone it with the sharp rock. Then put the fish on the baguette.
a slab of cheese. You need to make this using Emil's broken time machine in the hidden clearing. Put both milk and rennet into the bubble, then push the white button. The bubble will quickly age the curdled milk into cheese. Take the cheese. After you've put the deboned tuna fish on the baguette, put the cheese on the baguette.
