The keyboard graphic responds to mouse clicks, touch events, and key presses.
Hold your shift key while clicking the PET keyboard to get the graphics
characters.
(The emulator simulates pressing the PET's left shift-key at the
same time as the clicked key.)
Changing the size of memory or changing the ROM version forces a reset of the PET.
The emulator has an IEEE-488 device at address 8. It can be used load and save (.prg) files.
Some programs don't run on ROM1 and some require more memory than the default 8K.
Game Notes
May include inaccurate AI generated content
These 3D maze things were always cool. RATRUN places you in a randomly-generated maze, where you are the "rat" with the goal of finding your way to the cheese. Your position in the maze is drawn from a first-person perspective, and you're given a little number in the upper left corner that indicates the as-the-crow-flies distance to your goal. This number can be deceptive, though—you may find yourself one tile away from the cheese but on the wrong side of a wall in a dead-end passage. The screen refresh will feel a bit slow to modern players but it's actually not too bad considering that the entire game is written in BASIC.
