I am almost finished with an arcade-style game I am writing for Broderbund
Software for the Mac, and I found that the extra speed of a Mac II 
allowed me to simulate a Mac+ on the II, replacing the page-flipping
with drawing into an off-screen buffer and then doing a CopyBits into
a window, when the program is running on a Mac II.  Even doing this
extra work, the program runs smoother and faster on a Mac II than on the
Mac+ it is emulating in this mode.
