Try electricity first. We didn't already got there so it's more likely to have new things.

As you enter the Electricity Room, it fills with light. The light comes from a huge bulb standing right in the middle of the room. Along the walls are electric cars, electric toys, even little electric models of the big dinosaur downstairs.
But the weirdest thing is a huge coil like a TV antenna, with lightning bolts rising up between the two rods every few seconds. Something a mad scientist might have. The label underneath it says TESLA COIL.
Then a strange thing happens.
The little electric dinosaurs start to stalk towards you!
They have solar panels on their heads, like shiny mirrors. That must be where they get their energy.
Wow! Cool!
But your heart jumps when you notice the long, sharp teeth. Their little jaws make a clicking sound as they come closer.
They're surrounding you!
What should you do?
Run for the door?
Shoot them with the laser?
Climb on top of the giant lightbulb?

Climbing on top of the giant lightbulb seems to be your best bet.
You race towards the huge bulb. The glare almost blinds you. The little motors of the dinosaurs whir as they chase you.
You jump toward the bulb.
Ouch! You jerk back. It's as hot as a stove!
You swallow nervously as the dinos close in.
But then you notice something that gives you hope.
At the base of the bulb is a huge light switch!
Should you flick the switch? Maybe the light will go out and the bulb will cool off enough to climb on top of it.
Or should you run for the door?
Flick the switch?

You reach to flick the switch. The deadly little dinosaurs are only a few feet away now.
CLICK!
The room plunges into darkness. You can't see a thing!
You wait for the tiny teeth to chomp your legs.
But nothing happens.
Finally, your eyes adjust to the darkness.
And you can't believe what you see!
The little dinosaurs have stopped moving!
Of course! They were solar-powered. They needed the bright light from the giant bulb to give them energy.
In the dark, they're like toys without batteries!
You beat them! You wish Peedee A. could see you now.
That gives you an idea. You pull out your walkie-talkie and push SEND.
"Hey, Peedee A.," you whisper. "It's me. Over."
The walkie-talkie pops once. Then a voice answers.
"Good work!" Peedee A. responds. "You're getting closer to me. But you'll need an electric motor to help me. Over and out."
You step carefully over the motionless dinosaurs and glance around the room. Everything is lit by the shaky lighting of the Tesla coil. It's spooky.
You have a feeling you'll find the electric motor here. But where should you look? Should you check out the Tesla coil or the electric toys?
The Tesla coil?
The electric toys?
Leave the Electricity Room?

You head over to the electric toys.
They don't look very scary, but you keep your distance as you look them over. There's no telling what they might do?
There are little robots, trains, all kinds of stuff.
They're all powered by electric motors. There's a working model engine on a stand in the display.
Hey! Just what Peedee A. told you to find. You pick it up.
Write Electric Motor on your inventory list.
All right. You have what you need. Now it's time to go!
You're about to leave the Electricity Room when you notice something different about it.
It's not as dark as it was.
The giant lightbulb is slowly coming back on!
You realize that the switch must just turn it off for a few moments, to let it cool down...
The little dinosaurs are starting to come back to life!
Oh, no. Run for it!
Can you make it to the door. Roll to find out. (8.)
You sprint for the door, leaping over the little dinosaurs before they really get going.
But as you run, you hear their wheels starting to turn. They're coming after you!
You make it to the door just a few feet ahead of them.
But will they follow you out?
As you burst out of the Electricity Room, you hear the little monsters whine to a stop behind you.
You guess that they can't operate without the bright light of the giant bulb. The regular lights out here aren't strong enough for their solar cells.
Phew!
What should you do now?
Try the fire stairs?
Try the elevator?
The Thinking Machines Room?
Go back into the Electricity Room?

Failure links to the same death that running to the door would have on either case we had the option to do that.

You cautiously peer around the Thinking Machines Room.
It's full of computers and calculating machines. Some are over a hundred years old, big mechanical devices that must weigh a ton.
Some are regular computers, like the ones you use at school.
Others have cool helmets and gloves instead of screens and keyboards. They almost seem to be from the future.
It was one of the regular computers that sent you the message that started all this.
Which ones should you take a closer look at?
The old calculating machines?
The regular computers?
The futuristic computers?

You decide to check out the regular computers. Maybe you'll find another message from Peedee A.
Glancing down at the row of computers, you realize that one of them is already on. You walk over.
In the middle of the screen are the words CLICK ME.
Shrugging, you use the mouse to click on the words.
Another message appears on the screen!
"It's me, Peedee A.," the message reads. "You're very close to me now. I'm trapped in the difference engine. If you help me escape, I can show you how to defeat the Super Computer."
Wow! You've almost found your pal Peedee A.!
You peer around, wondering what a "difference engine" is.
Where should you start looking?

You decide to check out the old calculating machines.
Some are simple little things. Others resemble giant printing presses or looms. One of them has the strange name "difference engine."
The oldest machine is a Chinese adding device called an abacus.
Which of these things will help you?
(I see no reason to beat around the bush here.)
You bend down to examine the difference engine.
It's as big as a car engine, but looks a million times more complicated. It's covered with row after row of gears in all sizes. You never saw so many parts on one machine. It looks as if someone glued all the stuff in a hardware store together.
Suddenly, you hear a little pinging noise from deep inside the gears.
Something is in there!
You peer into the inner workings of the machine. Among the gears you see a tiny handheld computer. It's pinging away!
Could it be trying to communicate?
You try to reach the little computer, but it's too far inside the machine.
Maybe if you could get the difference engine started, the gears would push the computer out. The sign explains that the old machine used a steam engine for power.
Hmmm. You don't see any steam engines here.
(We have the electric motor.)
You examine the electric motor. Maybe you can get it to work with the difference engine.
There are so many gears on the side of the difference engine. One has to match up with the electric motor!
After a few minutes of fiddling, you get the two machines attached. Then you flick the switch on the electric motor.
And the difference engine springs to life!
The difference engine clatters like a hailstorm on a metal roof. Tiny gears and rods dance before your eyes.
You bend down to peer at the handheld computer. The rotating gears are pushing the little machine toward you.
All right! It's working!
But will the gears grind up the computer before it reaches you? Should you make a grab for it now? Or wait?
Grab the handheld computer?
Wait?

Grab for it. Goosebumps is more likely to give an amusing death for doing so than a miserable Game Over for failing to do so.

You reach your hand nervously into the spinning wheels and gears.
The mechanism of the machine churns all around your hand. You swallow with a dry throat, but nothing catches you.
Some of those gears look sharp!
Can you grab the computer? Roll to find out.
If you're wearing long sleeves, subtract one from your roll.
We rolled a 9, so even if we are wearing long sleeves (and I'm not, at least) we still would be 7 or higher, so:
You stretch your arm into the depths of the machine.
Got it!
As you pull the little computer out, it pings in your hand. Is it thanking you?
You free your hand and turn off the electric motor. These old calculators sure made a racket!
The tiny computer has a screen about four inches across. You stare intently at it.
Your jaw drops as you read what's printed on it.
"I guess you got all my messages," the screen reads. "Thanks a lot. You saved me!"
You blink. "Uh, y-you're welcome," you stammer. "But—"
The screen changes. "No time for conversation. We have to defeat the Super Computer!"
You shake your head. Is this machine your friend Peedee A.?
"Wait," you object. "You're Peedee A.?"
"Right. I'm a Personal Digital Assistant. PDA for short."
Write PDA on your inventory list.
"I'd like to help you destroy the Super Computer," you tell it. "But mainly I just want to get out of here!"
"The only way to escape the hall is to destroy the Super Computer," the little machine prints.
Your heart sinks. You were afraid the PDA would say that.
"So...how do I do it?" you ask.
"It's easy!" the PDA declares.
As you stand there, still not quite believing all this, the little computer tells you what to do.
It explains that you have to go into virtual reality, using the futuristic computers in this very room.
"When you meet the Super Computer," it instructs you, "Just clench your fists and say the words 'Crash Code.' Then type in the Crash Code number."
It does sound easy. "What's the code?" you ask.
"I don't know," the PDA confesses. "But the Super Computer hid the code in this room. I think it's on the abacus."
You notice the screen isn't glowing as brightly anymore.
"All this work has drained my batteries," the PDA tells you. "I'm afraid you're on your own now. Good luck!"
You stare as the little machine turns itself off. What are you going to do?
