Well, as a graphician I miss: 8 shades of Black (extra to the 8 shades of white) 
there could be 8 darker, and 8 lighter grey. All together it would be 16 shades of grey, would be a killer. Even Amiga500 has only this capability.
-Chunky mode: 160x200 each pixel 4 bit (16 predefined color per pixel, and you may do then raster tricks).
Would need 16KB (io. current 9KB with colormap)
It could make sprite emulation from SW a dream, no color distorsion during movement.
Much more games would have been developped.
-4 (2x2 stereo) sound HW channels, and some selectable waveform (no ADSR and filter or other magics). Would be cheap and easy from HW to implement.
Just eg 10 waveform could make the sound very good (eg. sinus, square, sawtooth, triangle, noise, and some drum emulation).
