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
Planet Miners is a game developed for the Commodore PET and published by Avalon Hill, a company known for its board games and early computer games. The game was released in the early 1980s, during a period when Avalon Hill was expanding into the computer gaming market. Planet Miners is a text-based strategy game where players manage resources and operations on a distant planet, aiming to maximize profits while overcoming challenges such as resource scarcity and environmental hazards.
The gameplay involves making decisions about mining operations, resource allocation, and managing risks associated with planetary exploration. Players must balance their budget, invest in equipment, and make strategic choices to succeed. The game reflects the complexity and depth typical of Avalon Hill's board games, adapted to the limitations and capabilities of early personal computers like the Commodore PET.
Despite its historical significance as an early computer game from a renowned publisher, specific details about the development team or the exact release date of Planet Miners remain unclear. The game is a lesser-known title in Avalon Hill's catalog, and information about it is scarce, making it a niche subject of interest for retro gaming enthusiasts and historians of early computer games.
