Musings on computer-rotated sprites in old-school games

I've been having some rather intriguing daydreams about "What If?" scenarios - not of the 'fanboy/girl', mind you, but of the realistic type - of whether it might've been possible to save some disk space on the older Sierra games by having rotating sprites, like wheels and people (Roger Wi...
