Even beyond games, I found it interesting that Texas Instruments is rarely acknowledged as the creator of the Integrated Circuit. When I was in tech classes, the books would state who made the vacuum tube, and the transistor, and where. Then when they reached IC they'd just gloss over it. I pointed it out to my professor, who agreed it was odd.

I think the reason is that transistors and vacuum tubes were both developed in academic environments, where the IC was developed by corporations. There's a subtle scorn among academics for advancements made in profit-oriented areas. And the academics write the textbooks. After Jack Kilby (the principal designer of IC's at TI) died a few years ago, they have started mentioning him by name, but again, no mention of the company.
