Yes, &FE60 affects Snapper and Planetoids. I poke vaguely random values
into this location and it seems to work okay. The speed of the ghosts
and their behaviour are determined by this value. Bizarre.

I've tried Snapper with the new graphics (i.e. not the Pacman characters
but silly little men) and that seems to work better.

Finally you should try CH."KILLER" and not *GORILLA. Otherwise the platforms
and ladders are gone (also the sound).
