For me at least I always remember it being referred to as 16-bit, in all the gaming and computer magazines etc. Part of the 16-bit home computers; I remember the Atari ST being referred to that way as well.

I don’t remember seeing references to 32-bit until the 386/486 days on the home computer side and Sega 32X on the console side.
