Pea Shootin’ Pete is a 1994 DOS shareware arcade game by Pack Media Company and published by MindStorm Software . A reworked version of Spit Wad Willy, it features the same addictive gameplay—shooting peas at bouncing balloons that split into smaller ones—augmented with background music and a dedicated practice mode. Controlled via keyboard, players pop all balloons to advance levels, dodging hazards and collecting occasional power-ups like slow-downs or extra lives. With vibrantly colored VGA graphics and fast-paced arcade action, it’s a nostalgic classic of early ’90s DOS gaming .
