   I was recently playing Summer Games by Epyx on the Commodore 64 (well in   
   an emulator). I noticed again the smooth animation of the guy with the   
   torch lightning the Olympic Fire. I was stunned back in 1984 when I saw   
   it on the real machine.   
      
   Only today I notice that the guy, the fire and eight doves were on the   
   screen at the same time at some point. I would imagine these are all   
   sprites. But the C64 only had eight hardware sprites. But with eight   
   doves, the torch carrier and possibly the flame after being ignited I   
   count at least ten sprite. How did they pull it off?
