Well, just to nitpick, for speed sake I assumed that is was flashing
the lores screen, which has the same 16-color set as DHR.   I figure
that it is easier to flip from HGR to GR and back faster than HGR
to DHR (takes two pages).  However, WOF and POP were/are the best
two commercial 8-bit II games ever made.  As far as the 64k game
class is concerned, I'd have to hand that to Rescue Raiders.  For
48k, it definitely goes to Aztec (which I still play on my 5meg ROM03
IIGS).

Shareware stuff, in the 128k class, Star Trek: First Contact wins
hands down.  I wish I had paid the guy for that one (insert non-ASCII
real remorse here).  Fun, fun, fun!  :)
