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.

Game Notes
The gameplay of "Blasto!" involves controlling a spaceship or similar vehicle, tasked with navigating through a series of levels while avoiding obstacles and enemies. The game is likely to have featured basic graphics and straightforward mechanics, typical of early computer games from that era. Given the limitations of the Commodore PET's hardware, "Blasto!" would have been a relatively simple game compared to later titles on more advanced systems.
Unfortunately, specific details about "Blasto!" are scarce, as it is not widely documented in gaming history. The game is considered a rare or obscure title, and surviving copies or detailed descriptions are difficult to find. It remains a niche piece of retro gaming history, primarily of interest to collectors and enthusiasts of early Commodore PET software.
