The c64 sprites certainly are neat, however:
  -  There are limits to their size and number.
  -  They are not available on many other microcomputers and therefore make
     software using them difficult to port to other micros, and difficult to
     take advantage of if the software was ported from other micros to the
     c64.

1. Are there any games (or any other programs) ported to/from the c64 that 
   use sprites?  
2. What big commercial programs use sprites (e.g. Frogger)
3. Do any of them use the collision detection facility?
4. Do you like to use sprites/collision detection in your personal programs?
