I'm having a problem in the very early part of the game. I know I need to fly to Bogota (got the mail) and I've bought the stuff I could with the Cashcard, including the video. But I don't have any gas for the chainsaw, which I suspect is what I need to get on the bus.

Any help much appreciated.

Yeh you need to get the knife from the kitchen. Go to the first locked door past the loans shop and open it using the cashcard. Open the wooden box using the knife and get the gas inside and then go to the bus. Use the gas with the chainsaw from the loans store and then use the chainsaw with the bus. It will wake the busdriver up. Hope this made sense!

I have completed the game and gotten the island ending.

But I am curious about these events spoken of before with the German text.  Is there some mysterious subquest to speak of? is there anything I can do in Cairo?

I think the German text is simply an error, something the translator missed. I didn't understand a word of what he said, but I think it has something to do with leaving the refridgerator open (at least that's when it happened for me). The guy in the bed is another error, basically the game tries to run the intro with Zak getting out of bed again, although he is already standing in the room - you will also notice an issue with opening the shades again.

Edit: I think Cairo was just something left in there from an early stage of development. They already had the graphics for the intro, so why not reuse it and let Zak visit again. If you've played the German version, you'll see that they have a bunch of other airports (locations from the original game)  that you can't leave. Wisely they removed those when they updated the game for the translated version.

This one is easy to miss (nearly pixel hunt). You don't have to give anything to him as such, but he won't leave until he finds something at the dig.

Spoiler
Maybe some dinosaur bones would interest him?

Need more help?

Give the flyer from your mail to the man behind the counter. Maybe you need to ask him about it too, I don't remember exactly. But you have to say the right things to get it as I recall.

I still can't find the cash card.  I have the cushion and I've tried to cut it open with knife.  There is no cash card in the couch.  I think I remember reading in a walkthrough something about having to push the plant to get the cash card.  I've tried that as well and there is no cash card by the plant.

Please help!
