THE GAME
Peter Packrat is a cute little rodent who lives in a
Junkyard, he likes nothing more than picking up all
the nice things people don't mean to throw away. He
runs around his neighborhood collecting all the
trash-treasures he can lay his hands on and carries
them back to his nest, where he can look at them in
peace. However, the Junkyard is not such a safe place,
and is patrolled by Riff Rat - the leader of the Rats of
Flatbush, his minions and various other villains
including Scrapper the Junkyard dog, Sticky the
spider, Nite Owl, Slugger the bat, Big Al the alligator,
Diamond Jim the snake and Clawd the Cat, all these
guys are very nasty pieces of work (boo, hiss!). When
Peter has collected everything from the Junkyard, he
huntes the Sewer, and when he has all the treasures
from there, he can look in the Tree. By the time he has
searched there, someone is sure to have dumped
something wonderful back where he started...So,
Peter Packrat, get collecting!

What you need to do
Peter Packrat muct collect all the treasures on the
level and take them all back to his nest. The number
of items he needs to gather is shown at the bottom of
the screen. He must either avoid the evil animals, or
stun them by throwing stones or treasures at them.
Flying animals that have been stunned can carry him,
but not for long, so let go when the creature that is
carrying him starts flashing. He can climb up or down
ladders, slide down slides, bounce across gaps on
planks, and climb through pipes. He can swim, but
not very fast, so avoid a dip whenever possible.
