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
In FIRE!, you control a Fire Department helicopter dropping water on burning buildings. The PETSCII art in this one is effective, although the helicopter looks a little goofy. The gameplay is solid but the controls are a bit sluggish—I suppose that while you struggle to push the helicopter back and forth above the burning buildings, you can imagine that you're trying to fly in high winds.
This game is all about seizing the initiative. If you don't act quickly to contain the fire, it will spread rapidly and the entire screen will burn.
