None of them had inbuilt memory for storage. NES used carts with a battery in em for storage, Sega I think it was similar. Shit even the PS1 lacked memory without a memory card.
The comic is about RAM, not storage. The 2600 was unique in that it had no RAM and needed to process everything in-between each scan line on the same chip.
Thanks for explaining 😊❤️
