1) The biggest leap is easily Gen 2 to 3.  Graphically it's a transition from 1D to 2D gaming.  On the Atari 2600, I'm controlling dots and stick figures, while on the NES I'm actually controlling discernable 2D characters, each with a unique look. 

Atari games like Pitfall 1 + 2, River Raid, Solaris, Pole Position, Battlezone, Atlantis, Kung Fu Master and H.E.R.O. don't look much worse than many NES games.

And they are not in 1D.
