Not counting the sprites the 7800 graphics are *not* similar to VGA - neither in resolution nor in color depth.

Noted!
You're right it's the absolute max res and absolute max no of colours that the 7800 could output. With only 25 colours available at the same time this is only 1/10th of the colour depth of the VGA modes. Actually the graphics modes of the C64 were quite similar albeit even more limited to 16 colors if you include black and white.
