Cool!  I've only tried it in VICE so far, but I'll try it out on the real thing 
soon, and will let Jim know how it goes.

This is the 3rd "new" PET game I've seen in the last week.  Last weekend I 
ported a C64 game of mine to the PET (haven't officially released it yet) and a 
guy I work with finally found the cassette for a PET game (just Hangman, but 
still...) he worked on back in high school.  I transferred it to a .d64 for him 
to try out in VICE.

This got me thinking:  is there a "definitive" website and especially forum for 
the PET where stuff like this could be shared for a wider audience?  I've 
googled around, and haven't found anything that's reasonably all-encompassing.  
All the other major 8-bit Commodore computers are covered this way:

VIC-20:  http://sleepingelephant.com/denial/
C-64:  http://www.lemon64.com/ (and of course many other sites)
Plus/4 (C-16): http://plus4.emucamp.com/
C-128:  http://landover.no-ip.com/128/forum.php

I know there's a bit of stuff spread between 6502.org, commodore.ca, 
old-computers.com and the C= Hackers mailing list, but that's not what I have 
in mind.

If there isn't anything, maybe a few of us could team up to start something?  
PET gaming, hardware, programming, productivity, support, all in one place.

Thanks,
Robin
