computer game created byDan Gorlin . It was published byBrøderbund for theAtari ST andAmiga .History
Typhoon Thompson is a remake of the
Apple II game fromBrøderbund called "Airheart ", also written by Gorlin. "Airheart" is a particularly notable title for the platform as it is the best example of the rarely used 16-color "Double High Res" graphics mode available in the enhanced Apple IIe and Apple //c (and, later, Apple IIgs) in an arcade-style game. The backstory presented to the user as well as the in-game mechanics are almost identical between the two titles. While "Typhoon Thompson" is controlled with the mouse, "Airheart" is controlled with the analogjoystick .External links
