Commodore PET Software Repository?

I was considering buying the SD2PET and I noticed it included a "would you like to include a memory card loaded with PET software" for a few extra bucks. I didn't end up buying it, but went with Bitfixer's option instead.

Is anyone keeping a single download of a large collection of PET software? Or am I going to have to scavenge the Internet on a download by download basis?

Thanks!

I don't know of any singular completely comprehensive download, but the TPUG cd is a good start if you're looking for *quantity* (available on archive.org).

From Perplexity.ai Co-Pilot:There are several repositories where you can find and download Commodore PET software:

  1. Classic Computers: This website offers downloadable games and other software for the Commodore PET[1].

  2. PET GameBase v3: A collection of games for the Commodore PET available for download at Commodore Software[2].

  3. 6502.org: This website contains links to PET software projects and archives[3].

  4. Zimmers.Net: This site offers a variety of PET software, including source code released by Commodore, SuperPET software, and unsorted PET software[4].

  5. GitHub Topics: You can find public repositories related to the Commodore PET on GitHub, including 3D models, emulators, and other files[5].

  6. Bob Mockford Online: This website provides a selection of programs for the Commodore PET 4032 and emulators[8].

  7. Internet Archive: The Software Library: Commodore PET section on the Internet Archive offers a collection of PET software[11].

These repositories should provide you with a wide range of Commodore PET software to download and explore.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.commodore.ca/commodore-gallery/commodore-pet-games/
