Great insight! I always saw the TI99/4A as one of the "zillions" of "microcomputers" in the 70s/80s but from your comment I now learnt that it was not so simple regarding Texas Instruments, one of the leaders (if I remember well) of the semiconductor industry at that time. Also the ColecoVision [2] used a variant of that chip. The ColecoVision had the best version of Donkey Kong [3] available in game consoles. Reading about the TMS9918A[1] now. Thank you very much.
