At last!  One more step towards Video Independance!  Thinking back to the
early 1980s, it's really kind of amazing that people put up with all the apple
graphics weirdness.  

MicroProse, no less!  An F19 Stealth Mission for the GS would exceed my
wildest expectations!  Ahhh....maybe Gunship?  How many years have Apple
gamers been waiting?

What is Washington Apple Pi journal?  A club-zine?
