PET ACTION SHOTS
Wondewred what PET games actually look like? Here are some screenshots of actual PET games:
  a PET Game from Japan, AFO, shoot down the flying saucer by aiming balloons under it. (really!) |
|
 Artillery (Creative Computing) |  Mission: Asteroid for the PET - an almost a decent Asterod game if the rocks didn't just go diagonal. |
 Bets! From Cursor One of the better cartoon characitures using the PET graphics. |  Bonzo! a Fun Chutes and Ladders Game, kinds silly but I like it. |
 A PET game a friend wrote and I jazzed up. |  Dog Star Adventure, a nice beginner adventure game set in the Star Wars universe. |
 Dungeon from Cursor, now this was one of my first early favorites, a mini RPG dungeon crawl, not much now but then it was a beginning. |  Horserace, it's amazing the effectsyou can get with some simple graphics and a little ML code. |
 Cosmic Jailbreak, a nice variation on the old Space invaders theme - kill the aliens trying to break out their friends. |  Lunar Lander (Creative Computing) a nice lunar lander simulator that was popular in the day. |
 Millipede - there were some really crappy commercial games for the PET but now and again there were companies who cared about making good games games, like this one. |  Video Poker for the PET, a very nice rendition given it was writtne around 1978 |
  Ouranos, the “Weather War” game, as you can see someone used lightning to take a bit away from their opponents house and gets met backwith destructive hail - winner is the first to completely destroy the other's house. |

  An extrordinary re-creation of the classic Space Invaders, all the way down to the attract screen! |
|
 Star Force: This is a mystery of where it came from, a good looking (but somewhat easy) version of Star Fire for the PET |  Ok here is an odd one, a pot smoking simulator. (Kid's don't do drugs, else you'll end up just writing software like this!) |
 Police! from Cursor. A fun little locate and capture the badguy game. |  Tunnel Vision/Cat and Mouse, a 3-D maze game in blindingly fast ML with a nice top view avoid the cat maze solver. |
 Last but not least is a great real-time Star Trek game written by Brad Templeton. VERY enjoyable! | |
