Game input holds PET matrix keys down until you physically release them, which is best for arcade games. Type input keeps the original short-tap queue for entering BASIC commands.
Charset Auto lets PET software switch normally. Graphics or Business forces the selected character ROM for compatibility/testing.
Changing RAM or ROM resets the PET. Some programs need ROM2/ROM4 or 16K/32K.
The sound slider controls the emulated PET VIA speaker. Modern browsers require a click before audio can start, so Start Game also enables audio.
The emulator has an IEEE-488 device at address 8 for loading/saving .prg files.

Game Notes
Welcome to my brand new game for the Commodore PET. After my experiences coding several other versions, I thought that I would try and convert my game to the PET series for CBM's. ALTAIRIS for PET was the result. This is a Tetris style game with the same game play and principles as the original, only tastefully adapted for the hardware. The rules are almost the same as the original. You must try and complete a solid line in order to clear it and gain lots of points. Like the original you can rotate your piece, you can move your piece and you can quick drop your piece. Rotate, Move or Quick Drop. You only get 2 moves, and 1 rotation! so be very careful with your choices! Once you have made your 2nd move, your piece will automatically drop. Of course you can quick drop at any time.
Control are simple:
A = Move piece one space to the LEFT
D = Move piece one space to the RIGHT
W = Rotate
S = Quick Drop
Altairis will run on a 16K PET
