It is a "SPRITE 1" by Synetix Systems, Inc., 1983, with a TMS9918A, eight
memory chips (8328GVP AM9016FPC), four 74LS chips, one other chip, video
input and output RCA jacks, and the usual assortment of descrete
components.
There's a little blurb about the SuperSprite and StarSprite boards over
at http://www.hypermall.com/History/ah12.html
They were very expensive (about $400), so they really didn't catch
on with most users. Pity...
