Nice, I'm thinking about making it possible to connect it directly to a display/TV and keyboard. Now, I have to have a terminal or laptop + terminal emulator.

It seems hard to drive a vga display without resorting to fpgas or an avr.

If composite is enough, the NES PPU could be a fun addition to that design :)

Apparently, it can be done with a bunch of TTL logic chips.

Yes, the composite solutions sounds more fun :-)

A Propeller Chip does this easily.
