  Hmm.  You might be able to overlap the images slightly, a luxury which
isn't present for 3d games...  The effect you're going for sounds cool
enough that it's worth the attempt.  Have the sprite mx/my all point at the
same location in vmem, but have them inset an appropriate number of pixels
(would 1 suffice?) from the edge of each sprite; since it's the same data,
any interference from the other sprites shouldn't be noticable.
  I personally haven't tried this, so I can't vouch for its effeciveness
tho.
