Well, sprites cannot be used exclusively, but they can take a LOT of the
load off of the blitter/cpu, they can have up to 15 colors +
transparent and you 64 pixel width of 15 color sprite object per
scanline, and this can be used in almost ANY design, maybe you need
to supplement the display with raster objects as well, but they
(sprites) are valuable in speeding up/enchancing any game.
