Hmm, well I thought I was treating the islander properly when I hooked up my GBA. Apparently I wasn't, so I read up on the subject a bit, went and tried it again. Ok, I got a little further...but no, I haven't quite got it yet.
So...
How in the heck do you get the islander to drop the treasure chests he picks up? I've gotten him to shake the palms and eat coconuts and a little heart appeared above his head. So I thought, well this isn't doing anything so I dropped some cherries for him and left. I've gotten him to eat the cherries and again, another little heart. But the third cherry he ate, he got a little skull above his head. Still n-a-d-a. Nothing.
What am I doing wrong? I want my prizes! waaa!
