There were many programs where people did VDU 23,128+ and then tried to
print them with VDU 224+. If was never legitimate to define one character
and expect to have the bitmap written by printing a /different/ character.
And, if I recall, Zalagan used the screen pixel-line offset table in
MOS 1.20 in it's own sprite routines.
