The arcade game Space Panic was the first "platformer" game, and it inspired more popular games of the time such as Lode Runner and Donkey Kong. There were many different versions of Space Panic on the original 8-bit machines, including Apple Panic which won a number of game awards. This is an updated version for the Commodore PET.
This Commodore PET game has similar game mechanics to the original Mario Bros arcade game. Hit the floor under the turtles to flip them, and jump up to kick them. A one or two player action game made for the TOJam 2023 game jam.
This game was first released as Miser for the Commodore PET in 1981. Considering the strict constraints of the early 8-bit machines - the original version only required 16K of memory to run - it was remarkable for its complexity.
