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
FLIGHT! brings something new to CURSOR: a little "movie" with animation and sound. This program tells the story of a Canadian moon landing. The author was from Vancouver, so he's showing a little home-town bias here. The movie is simple but showcases creative applications of the PETSCII character set. I remember being enthralled by this program in the early 1980s. Although it may be a little slow for modern tastes, this one's still worth a watch today.
