[Original list deleted]
Corrections:
The weapons total is 4, not 5. You must have written 5 because you
end up with 5 weapons. But you don't get any points for the knife.
The Cedar Box is worth 2 points, not 1.
You have the Ruby Ring and the Amethyst Ring mixed up. The Ruby
Ring is in the Lead Box on "Warning: Earthquake Zone". The Amethyst
Ring is on "Need a Light?". BTW: These rings are not mere treasures.
They also have an effect if you wear them. (But that's a different
spoiler.)
The 5 points at the end come from picking up the Alien Gemstone. The
2-point item hidden in a secret room somewhere is the Easter Egg. I
don't think it's any more of a spoiler to name these items than to
name any of the others. Especially when you then go ahead and tell
how to get into the secret rooms.
You missed two of the secret rooms. The secret room on "They May be
"Slow" has another secret room inside it. That room has another
teleporter that leads to a secret room on "Evil Undead Phantasms Must
Die".
As long as you're listing points, you might as well list treasure
value, too.
The corrected list is:

the best achievable) were:

+5 Mission bonus (the bomb goes off in time)
+10 Survival Bonus (you get out alive)

87 points total, out of 41 possible!?!?!
