It's strange how some systems employed startup UEFI while others didn't. ColecoVision used UEFI, as well as the Sega System and Sega CD. I think SNES did too.
Atari VCS didn't have UEFI, nor did NES or Sega Genesis.

Stranger still is that these UEFIs were often copyrighted, forcing us to find them to use emulators. In the age of emulators this actually has some sense to it, but 35 years ago it wasn't within the average person's ability to manufacture their own pirated video game system copy, as if legal protection for the UEFI would make any real difference.
Maybe that's why the Dendy was available in the USSR, their was no UEFI and therefore no UEFI code to copyright and inhibition distribution, unlike the SEGA System which did have UEFI but no pirated versions ui the USSR.

Technically they all did. The NES had to do a security check before the game started. The bootrom was there, but it was very basic and was not prominent on start up. The original GameBoy has a BootROM/ BIOS. The first thing you see when booting up the GameBoy is this screen:

The Famicom Disk System in Japan also has a Bios screen.

Also, the Gamecube BIOS menu music is the Famicom Disk System theme slowed down by 16 times.
