The ATARI 2600 is an 8-bit game console | 8Blit

In this episode of Quick Blits we explore a topic that occasionally comes up in conversations. How many ‘bits’ is the Atari 2600? What does that mean, and makes it that way? We’ll cover the Atari 2600, Nintendo NES and SNES, Sega Masters System and Genesis… with a surprise inside!
Correction: I refer to the Motorola 68000 incorrectly as the 6800.
