A (very poor) solution to Space Quest II

"Look at watch" then enter "C" followed by pressing F10 (1).  Walk
to the airlock in the ceiling (1) and "look around" when inside the
ship.  "Open locker" and "look in locker".  "Take puzzle" (1), "take
supporter" (1) then "close locker".  "Take suit" (1) and press the
TAB key to see what you are carrying.

Move West and walk into the square at the left.  Walk of the square
to the North and then North into the transporter.  Exit the
transporter, walk down the stairs and then up the shuttle stairs
(5).  You can now sit back and let things happen until the
inevitable crash.

"Search body" and "take card" (3).  "Look in craft" then "press
button" (1).  Move to the left rear of the screen then travel North
the East.  "Untie alien" (5) and return West.

Go around the rock and behind the bush at the right side of the
screen.  You should now move South to a point where you are
completely hidden.  Wait for the hovercraft to come and go (5).

Move West and "look at ground".  "Take spore" (4) then go to left
rear of screen.  Move North and traverse the root maze (lotsa
luck!).  "Take berries" (4) then return through the root maze (4).

Travel S, E then go to plateau.  Move West and "look at machine".
"Read sign" then "put form in slot" (2).  "Look at tray" then "take
whistle" (2).  Move 2 screens East and go to back (north) of screen.

"Rub berries on skin" (3) then move East.

Find the deep part of the swamp and "take deep breath" (2).  Travel
D, W, U (2) and "take gem" (3).  "Take deep breath" (2) again and
move E, U, E, E.  "Climb tree" (3) and move East.

After you have been caged, "talk to hunter" twice then "throw spore"
(5).  "Take key" (2), "unlock door" and "open door".  "Take rope"
then travel N, W, W.  "Get on log" then "tie rope to log" (2).  "Get
on rope" and move to the bottom of the rope.  "Swing" (2).

Press F6 to jump off rope at west side of the swing after the
creature has reached for you three times (5).  Move West into the
cave.  "Hold gem" (2) and move to the West end of the cave.  "Take
gem" (1) after you recover then move South.

"Listen to alien" then say "the word" (3).  Move to hole and when
you have started down the ladder, "hold gem in teeth".  Traverse the
ladder maze (20) (lotsanlotsa luck!).

The following diagram may help a little.  The "dashed" lines
represent screen boundaries while the solid lines are possible paths
within the maze. (Somewhere around the second level where there are
a couple of square paths, I was eaten by a monster.  I forget
exactly where.  I think it was coming back from the asterisk.  It
may be random so save your game regularly.)

After your successful exit from the maze, move East then take the
East fork of the river (5).  Travel East and "look around".  "Blow
whistle" (5), move West then return East.  Go to the newly created
hole and "look at debris".  "Take stone" (2) and move North.

Move beneath the platform being careful not to be seen.  Wait near
the elevator and "throw stone" (10).  When the guard walks out of
the elevator, you move in.  Move to the left rear of the shuttle and
"open hatch".

"Look at console" then "press power".  "Look at dial" then "set dial
to VAC".  "Press thruster button" and "pull throttle" (20).  "Set
dial to HAC" and "push throttle".  You can now twiddle your thumbs
until your landing in the asteroid.

Move East and "press five".  Travel 2 screens East and "press
button".  Move North then "look around".  "Take basket" (1) then
"take overalls".  "Look around" then "take lighter" (1).

Move S, W, W and "press four".  Go 2 screens East and "press
button".  Move North then "open door" and "look around".  "Take
paper" (1) and "put paper in basket" (1).  Move S, E and "press
button".  Go North then "look around".  "Take cutter" (1) then go S,
W, W, W.

"Press three" then move 3 screens East.  "Press button" and go
North.  "Look around" and "take plunger" (1).  Move S, W, W, W and
"press one".  Move W, S then move East and West to trigger barriers.
"Stick plunger to barrier" (10) and wait for floor to return.  "Let
go" (10) then "drop basket" (1).  "Light paper" (10) then move 2
screens East.

Go up the stairs.  When you recover from your belittling experience,
"cut glass" (5).  Move to the vents on left side of screen and
"climb in vent".  "Read sign" then go to back wall.  "Press button"
(10) to end the threat of Vohaul and "climb out" again.

Move West and "turn switch on".  Type "enlarge" then move East
again.  Walk into the bottle and you will be restored to normal
size.  "Search Vohaul" then "look at screen".  Your search should
have revealed the code "SHSR" which you will now use (10).  Press F6
then move East (up the stairs).

"Look around" then "open box" (2).  "Wear mask" then go East to next
screen.  Go East (through passage) then S, W, W, W.  Move E, E, E
(the robot will follow).  "Press button" and go N, S, W, W, W.  The
robot will be following from the other side (don't get caught!).

Quickly "press button" then move 11 screens West.  Go through the
routine again to make robot follow ie. E, E, E, "press button", N,
S, W, W, W.  Before the robot catches you, you should have time to
"get in pod" (10).

"Look at panel" then "press button".  "Look around" then go to
chamber (10).  "Open chamber" and "get in chamber".  This should
give you 225 of a possible 250 points.  (Yes I agree - not one of my
best efforts.)
