Actually the sprites could only accent a line ,since 8 16 color sprites
is only 64 pixel width of data.  So only 1/10th of a scanline could use
the upper 15 color registers (recall for sprites that color 0 is always
transparent)

A worse problem is that the pixel width of a sprite is fixed at lo res, 
so in fact you get 1/5th of a line of data, but each pixel is twice as
wide as a hires pixel.  It is not too practical, because of the pixel
size differences, and the lack of enough pixels to cover more
than 1/5th of a scanline.
