Despite having the colour attributes logic (MSX1 mostly, the other through retro compatibility), it wasn't as bad as on the [[ZX Spectrum|Speccy]].
*the MSX1 attributes are 8x1 8×1 pixels instead of 8x8 8×8 pixels (Speccy or even C64).
*the machine includes proper 1bpp Hardware Sprites, which enable to have no attribute clashes compared to software sprites.
*The machine has a proper VRAM, sort of proper graphical card as comparable to IBM PC.
