Having used an Amiga for several years, I can say that it did use
hardware sprites (even hardware collision detection), just like the C64.
But it's true that the term "blit" already had its special meaning on
the Amiga, one of its components even was called
"blitter" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_Amiga_chipset) :)
