A team at Mattel, headed by David Chandler, began engineering the hardware, including the hand controllers. After having chosen National in August 1977, Mattel waited for two months before ultimately choosing the proposed GI chipset in late 1977. GI published an updated chipset in its 1978 catalog. The GI chipset lacked reprogrammable graphics and Mattel worked with GI to implement changes. Its consultant, APh Technological Consulting, suggested a General Instrument chipset, listed as the Gimini programmable set in the GI 1977 catalog. Mattel identified a new but expensive chipset from National Semiconductor and negotiated better pricing for a simpler design. It was to have rich graphics and long lasting gameplay to distinguish itself from its competitors. Mattel's Design and Development group began investigating a home video game system in 1977.
