Many/most mid-to-late C64 games (I wrote a good few myself) used
sprite-plexing to achieve 30+ sprites on screen at one time - that was when
that C64 games got quite interesting. So: 16 or less isn't entirely true.

FYI: I've been writing games professionally since 1982, and have career
sales of between 3.5 million and 4.0 million units. :-)
Your point about transparent gifs is a good one - though sprites in motion
(by their nature) rarely work unless they are transparent (Tetris
notwithstanding). :-)
