Fun fact: the way a 1980s #videogame console displays tile #graphics is pretty similar to how a 1980s #terminal or #computer displays text.

The screen is divided into rectangular cells. Each cell is drawn by looking up an index into an array of cell-sized images. For text, it's a glyph; for a video game, it's a tile.

On some machines, like the #Commodore64, text mode is just tile graphics mode with a pre-defined set of tiles.
