The VIC and 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
     VIC/c64.

Which games (and any other programs) for the VIC/c64 take advantage of sprites 
and which don't.  How many of those were ported from a machine without sprites?
Do any of them use the collision detection facility?
