Where did the MZ racing sprite come from?
It was ready-made game art in a Sharp MZ character set. On the MZ-700’s character display, each screen cell could show a preset shape, letting games build pictures without drawing every pixel. Its old code F5 gives its position in the European alternate set; it is a hexadecimal character slot, not the F5 key.
