No, we use ATMegas for Keyboard and Video. About gaming and serial terminal – we had an idea to make it possible to have some pixel graphics run by our Apple-1 - e.g. to use ASCII codes above 127 as commands to video driver to set pixels or lines. Similar to how VGA registers work. So it still will be a kind of serial terminal, but it could draw graphics (TFT screen basically uses also serial connection via SPI).
