We could do interlacing, but interlaced text can cause problems.

IBM and other early systems that used a TV were not interlaced.

OTOH, modern game systems are probably interlaced.

If we do use interlacing, we need to send exactly the same frame to both
fields.  Otherwise, moving text is impossible to read and not at all
pleasant to look at.

Hmmm.... I had assumed we'd send alternating scanlines.  I suppose we
could do 640x200.  But I'd really like to see what interlacing looks
like when you try not use the same data each field.  I remember not
being so bothered by it when seeing an Amiga.
