Peter Pack-Rat

Arcade 1984 Atari Games Platform Run Jump
Peter Pack Rat is a platform game in which the player, controlling the game's hero, a rat called Peter; must rush around a platform-filled screen collecting a variety of objects to take back to Peter's nest. These objects include bottles, watches, hats, balls, and cans.

A number of enemy creatures hinder the player's progress; these include rats, cats, dogs, bats and owls. There are 3 different levels to play through; a junkyard, a sewer and a tree.

As well as the objects that must be collected and taken to Peter's nest, additional objects can also be collected and thrown to stun attacking animals. Flying animals that have been stunned can be ridden around the screen for a short period of time. A round ends when all the desired objects have been collected and placed in the nest. Successive rounds add more objects and enemies, as well as changing the patterns of the shortcuts.

Tips on Peter Pack-Rat

* Don't forget you have an 8-way joystick. Make use of it. If an enemy is at any 45 degree angle and in your way, shoot it! Use this when trying to get objects in the spider's web. Often the spider will attack at an angle.

* Many people don't realize that Peter can swim. After all, you are a rat and a rats can swim.

* When you are in the water you can stun and ride the alligator. If you do manage to agitate the alligator and he starts chomping at you in the air, don't worry about it. He can never get you that way. Only when you are in the water or drop directly into his mouth.

* Gravity can be your friend when dropped from a flying creature. If you get knocked loose or if your flying buddy is about to let you go, THROW AN OBJECT DOWNWARD IMMEDIATELY. There is a very good chance you will hit another attacking flying creature and now, you dropped on it and it's carrying you! This is particularly effective with owls in the tree scene.

* Don't let the slick surfaces in the sewer intimidate you. You can still jump left and right when on top of them. This is advantageous when trying to avoid the alligator, the spider and other enemies that may be right on your tail.

* When jumping left, right or falling, pushing up on the joystick when Peter is right over a ladder will make him grab onto it. This is useful in avoiding enemies that are right below you and off the screen.

* In higher levels (known as 'waves' in this game), Peter gets stronger and can jump farther and higher. Use this new "super jump" ability to jump straight up to levels above him, to quickly avoid the attacking creatures and move farther left and right across the screen. This ability is extremely advantageous in the tree scene. Peter can jump clear across from one side of the tree to the other.
