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
"Miser" is a lesser-known game written by M.J. Lansing and published by CodeWorks - Cursor, a company known for developing software for the Commodore PET, a popular early personal computer. The game was released during the late 1970s or early 1980s, a period when CodeWorks - Cursor was active in creating educational and entertainment software for the Commodore PET platform. Specific details about the gameplay, mechanics, or storyline of "Miser" are scarce, as it is not widely documented in historical gaming archives or databases.
CodeWorks - Cursor was recognized for producing a variety of software titles, including games and utilities, for the Commodore PET. Given the era and the platform, "Miser" was likely a text-based or simple graphical game, typical of the limitations and design trends of early personal computers. The Commodore PET's hardware constraints would have influenced the game's design, making it a relatively straightforward or puzzle-oriented experience.
Unfortunately, there is limited surviving information about "Miser" or its reception at the time of release. It remains an obscure title within the broader context of early computer gaming history. Researchers or enthusiasts interested in the game would need to consult rare archival materials, such as old software catalogs, user manuals, or contemporaneous reviews, to uncover more details about its content and significance.
