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. D64 disk images can also be inspected for PRG files.

Game Notes

The game's simplicity and reliance on text input were typical of early computer games, especially those designed for systems like the Commodore PET, which had limited graphical capabilities.
CodeWorks - Cursor was known for producing educational and strategy games for the Commodore PET, and "Defend!" fits within this genre. While specific details about the game's release date or exact mechanics are scarce, it is recognized as part of the early wave of computer games that emphasized strategy and resource management over graphics or action.
