I don't think that JET is from Microsoft. Last I looked, it was from
SubLogic. Also, I recall that it said explicitly that it would not
work on a Mac II.

This only works on a Plus (or previous), and you have to boot from the
Microsoft disk.

From the infamous games list:
Falcon - 1, mf, II
Chuck Yeager Flight Simulator - *, mf, II
That is, Falcon forces you to go into 1-bit mode (not acceptable to me,
even with Switcheroo), works under MultiFinder, and works on a II. Chuck
Yeager works under any screen depth (at least I think that's what we
decided), and with MultiFinder and Mac II's.
