Switch to Dave, and go to the arcade room. Go to 'Meteors
Mess' and use

machine yet, you
will have to wait and watch. Also, to get your quarter
back, you must use the
small key with coin box.
The doorbell should ring shortly as this is a conmtract
for Green tentacle
from the three dudes. Get Razor to pick it up. If the
doorbell hasn't rung

combination from the
arcade machine to open the inner door. If the meteor police
have been,
examine dungeon floor and you should find some ID. Once
you have the ID,
enter the Zombiematic room and give the badge to Purple
Tentacle. If you
don't have the ID, then have Razor give the contract to

open it, use radiation suit, use card key in slot of automatic
door, enter in
to meteor room, then pull switch to save Sandy, Dr Fred,
