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
Jim Wildermuth was a notable programmer associated with CodeWorks - Cursor, contributing to several titles for the Commodore PET. While *G-Word* is not as well-documented as some other games from the era, it is recognized as part of the library of software produced by the company. The game likely leveraged the PET's text-based display, which was common for educational and word-based programs at the time.
Unfortunately, detailed information about *G-Word*, such as its exact release date, gameplay mechanics, or screenshots, is not widely available in modern archives. It remains a lesser-known title in the Commodore PET's software library, with its legacy tied to the educational and utility-focused nature of CodeWorks - Cursor's catalog. Further research into vintage software archives or Commodore PET communities might yield additional insights.
