The Amiga was loudly marketed as having a 32-bit CPU though (the Atari ST a lot less so, for whatever reason). Having a 16-bit ALU in theory would make the 990

Having a 16-bit ALU in theory would make the 9900 a 16-bit processor as much as the 8086. The TI-99/4A is definitely weird (and slow!!) but it does fit the definition of a 16-bit system.
