Another funny note about Bruce Lee....IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.....it was
technically for 64K Apple II's, but I believe it had it's title screen in
double hi resolution graphics but the rest of the game was in regular
hi-res graphics.
You remember correctly! The double-hires title screen (and it's 2-voice
music) was awesome in it's day.
Then you should look up Paul Lutus' 1981 Electric Duet.
It was a _tour de force_ in its day, and came with lots
of two-voice music. It's now readily available on archives.
It predates sampled music players like SoftDAC and DAC522.
The voices are very "reedy" and quite limited, compared to
sampled sounds which allow arbitrary waveforms, but the
"music" is much more compact than samples.
