And don't forget AirHeart! Also completely in DHR mode.  And not only that!
It does a great job of giving a 3D feel, and maintains a fairly decent speed
on a 1MHz IIe.  And for example, a robot in the distance makes a quiet noise,
getting louder as you approach it.  That was the first time I had ever seen a 
game use volume control on a IIe...and it was in a 3D DHR action game to boot!
Made it my favorite 8-bit game (just wish they would have had more levels!!!)
