    I hope your way of thinking does not reach Sierra!  The original Stellar-7
on the Apple II ran in hi-res graphics (280x192) in monochrome.  It was an
excellent game.  What's wrong with Stellar-7 running on a GS in 320x200 mode? 
Fill-mode graphics and hidden-line removal is old hat now (i.e.: various FTA
demos, Polyognia, etc, etc)  Add really powerful stereo sound effects to it,
and it would rival (and surpass) the VGA version.
