Even the O^2 must have a formal gfx chip of some kind.

The Colecovision, though, I think used a TI chip similar to the one in the
TI99/4A and MSX computers.  Same with the NES 8-bit.

As for sound, the Vec and Astrocade, I believe, used the same stock
3-voice sound chip.  It's a great chip, after all.
