Another bit of trivia related to this....
Airheart was renamed "Typhoon Thompson: Search for the Sea Child" for other
platforms. I'm not sure why they renamed it. I'm most familiar with the ST
version, which is an EXCELLENT game.

The only double hi-res game I'm aware of is Airheart by Dan
(Choplifter) Gorlin. I'm sure there must be others. Airheart both
looks great and plays well (although I think it sometimes suffers from
slowdown when there are too many enemies and shots on the screen.) I
think double hi-res really came along too late for the Apple IIe/c.
Companies had moved on to the IIgs/ST/Amiga/PC/Mac. Or maybe I just
didn't become aware of it soon enough.
