@Kiyata_Hamasaki There was no "4-bit" era, just different generations of 8-bit. None of the consoles you mentioned are 4-bit consoles - there were no 4-bit home consoles. The Atari 2600 uses an 8-bit cpu with 8-bit system bus, the Intellivision is actually 16-bit. Bitness has nothing to do with graphics capabilities, that's up to whatever capabilities the graphics processing chip provides. Hence Atari 2600 to Colecovision to NES are all 8-bit with very different ways of doing graphics between each.
