OK, you need the torches, and you position them cunningly on the platforms 
on the bit to the left so that they're forced to go towards the thing which 
drops from the ceiling (I seem to remember that it's a spider).  Then you 
have to follow behind the monkeys with a torch, but not to close, and then 
after the spider has got the monkey you leg it past.  Not bad remembering 
that from last playing it 7 years ago.  After you get past that bit, I 
bet you get stuck.  It was quite a tricky game despite the playing area 
being so small.  There were several

You have to wait until right near the end of the game, you have to get the 
bucket and get past the troll to go into the water and fill it up.  Then 
you go to the witch and throw it at her, and hope you hit her.  I remember 
that bit from years ago anyway.  It was a classic game.

I hope that this helps,
