John Madden Football - A 11 man football game on a stock 64K Apple II. It's been a while since I played it, but I seem to recall it was pretty fun. Obviously, comparing it to the current Madden franchise is unfair, but for it's time, Madden was great on the Apple II.
Flobiynoid (sp?) - 8 bit Arkanoid clone. I found it at a Bay Area software clearance shop (Herb's Software - now closed I believe) and it was fun as heck. I didn't have a color monitor so I couldn't vouch completely for it's graphics. However, they seemed smooth and the game played well.
The Ancient Art of War - I played this on a Mac which it was first originally released. At the time, I thought "man, I wish they would release it for the Apple II". Apparently, it was released for the Apple II. :D I can't vouch for the II version of the game, but if it's anywhere close to the Mac version, it's a heck of a game.
Airheart - One of the few double hi-res arcade/action games. I played it sparingly, but it got some rave reviews when it was released.
skyfox - one of my early favorites. It's graphics are pretty darn good for hi-res. :D
Now, I am surprised that no one has mentioned the following:Castle Wolfenstein/Beyond Castle Wolfenstein - The graphics were nothing to shout about. BUT, the voice synthesis was a marvel at the time.

good site with screenshots: http://spacemul.emu-france.com/screen.php3?id=37&lettre=O&lang=eng I just checked out Test Drive for the 8bit, very neat. Accelerator, brakes, gear shift, ok animations on other cars (great for apple II), animated road-side. Rich
