Actually the c64's resolution is sort of misleading. The resolution inside the border was 320x200, making the actual screen resolution something like 384x260.

Yeah, I wasn't including the border.

...again the c64's "on paper" specs are pretty different to what can be achieved with a little hardware trickery. Games like turrican2, armalyte, katakis, sent dozens of sprites flying around the screen nice and smoothly.

I was talking about hardware sprites, not software sprites.

...I am starting to suspect that the ADAM/Colecovision was before the c64.

The C64 came out in 1982; the ADAM came later.

@RobertB

re: sprites

Yeah, I was talking about hardware sprites as well. With multiplexing its possible to use dozens at once on the c64.
