"Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was a huge letdown.  Really beautiful DHGR

gameplay.





You know, it's interesting, why did developers develop games with a DHR
title screen, but settle for SHR in the game itself?


Easy--so they could say "DHR" on the box!


Games that I can think of were:

Wings of Fury - Broderbund
Bruce Lee - Datasoft

TThe interesting thing was that Wings of Fury was advertised as a
"128K" game while I believe Bruce Lee was a "64k" game.  The only
reason I even noticed that Bruce Lee had a DHR screen was when I
originally got the game, the title screen seemed to be "broken", like
there were stuff missing.

At the time, my IIe did not have the jumper cable set on the extended
80 column card to enable DHR.  Once I took care of that problem, the
title screen appeared correctly.
