[Coco] "Sprites" on CoCo?

[Steve Strowbridge]

That's what made CoCo games so impressive, the fact there was no hardware
assist for _anything_ sprites, screen scrolling, music, sound, etc.,
everything you heard and saw was done in software by the CPU and the the
programmers made the computer shine, to this day, I still think of the CoCo
game authors as both superheroes and rock stars :)
