Wow, Eric, there were a _lot_ of nifty graphic demos for the Apple II,
beginning with the venerable "Brian's Theme" and great 2-liners
too numerous to count, up to truly amazing ones, like Fire Organ.

Life might even qualify.  ;-)

With an accelerator, even the Applesoft ones really tear up the
screen.

It would be fun to collect several of the fine ones onto a disk
image.  (I used to run Fire Organ on an emulator as a kind of
screen saver on my PC at work--and everyone was amazed
at the display.  They were downright disbelieving when I told
them it was a simulated Apple II!  ;-)
