Peter Pack Rat Gameplay

The player maneuvers Peter, a cartoon rodent, through various environments to collect objects and take them back to his nest within a designated time. Enemies, referred to as "The Gang", include cats, dogs, owls, and spiders, and must be avoided or stunned by throwing gems or collected objects. Each successive stage increases the number of objects to collect, reduces the allotted time to collect them, and adds more enemies.

Points are awarded based on the amount of time remaining when all items are collected, and the number of enemies stunned. Jeff Peters holds the official high-score with 910,875 points achieved at the Camelot Arcade in Anaheim, California on March 20, 1986.
