Add a minor problem with Skyfox to your list. You can't fly through the
cloud on the Apple IIGS to switch from high to low altitude or vice
versa.

Also, Apple Pascal version 1.1 will not work on the IIGS unless you set
slot three to "your card". This disables 80 column display, and makes
the enviorment hard to handle, but it is the only way I could get it to
run on a IIGS.
