    Only the title-screen and credits in Prince of Persia used
Double-Hi-Res graphics, the actual game was in Single-Hi-Res 
from what I recall (most likely because quicker animation was
possible, I've noticed most DHR games are rather sluggish).

    Personally I thought Prince of Persia was the best game 
ever created on the 8-bit Apple II (Wings of Fury was another 
great title, which incidentally, also used DHR for the title 
screen but the actual game was HR).
