Actually I had some trouble with this lighter business as well because of a minor mismatch between my general experience and the actual verbs in the game. It took me embarrassingly long to figure it out, mainly because it made me think my solution was wrong when it wasn’t.
I mean, not that I figured there was a lighter there… that was just a nice surprise. 
As an aside, and shield your eyes @tasse-tee 'cause this might be a spoiler, I noticed you can burn your wallpaper map. Seems like a pretty sure-fire (harhar) way to really mess things up later — on Mars, perhaps.
I didn’t know that!
But actually, no:
there are other objects you can draw a (new) map on
God, I love this game!
It gives you a one second flash if you try to use it instead of the nest.
I wonder if those peanuts could come in useful somewhere else if you opt to kill the squirrel like some kind of maniac…
please blur the word nest
Meh, trying not to read into these until I’ve played a bit more…
Sure. I think the spoiler is that there’s two, though. The violent path seems hard to miss. 
Oh, and another general hint (mildly spoilerish, but it could go unnoticed)
when you are at any airport, you can read the newstand and see changing headlines (presumably things Zak mails in). When the headlines do not change, you are not making a lot of progress (yet)
My bigger airport question is how to buy the advertised book. (Doesn’t everyone do your hint as an automatism? :P) But I just realized it’s probably just me having a verb overload issue again. Maybe I tried use and neglected give or vice versa, something like that. I’ll report back after I’ve tried it a bit better. 
yes, you should use the verb “give” all right. It’s a bit more personal to than “use”
It’s just that turn on/off put on/off stuff kind of distracting me somehow, making me forget about the more basic verbs. As an aside, I wonder if there’s a way to remap scroll up/down to u/j in ScummVM. I suppose I could always do that system-wide while playing the game, but still…
A simple remap like that would put the UX surprisingly close to Thimbleweed Park. It’s that nice inventory scrolling action that I probably miss the most in all the older games now.
Btw, I found a glitch of sorts. This is a spoiler unless you’ve already acquired a blue object.
(I use the i/o/k/l item selection controls in addition to the mouse. Still ticked off by the lack of enter=mouse click and arrow keys=cursor movement.)
Actually in the FM Towns version Zak gives a comment on the lighter (“what’s that?”) and the lighter is drawn bigger than in the C64 version.
oh, ok!
well, obviously I am not yet playing, but here on the forum
Btw @Someone in between the rope and this screenshot, one may not need the disguise at all? 
That’s right. But Edna won’t be talking that long …
The problem with my earlier spoiler screenshot was that I had a newline before the /spoiler btw.
If you use it as if it were a lever…
@Sushi: I’ve made a screenshot of the corresponding situation:

I’m so proud of you all! 
I’m at your disposal, but I see that there’s enough support!
Great!
