| The Interton Video Computer 4000 (Interton VC 4000) is an early 8-bit, cartridge-based second-generation home video game console released by Interton in 1978. It is part of the 1292 Advanced Programmable Video System family and is based on Signetics technology. The console was sold in several European countries, including Germany, the UK, France, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, and Australia, and was discontinued in 1983. The VC 4000 uses a Signetics 2650A CPU clocked at approximately 0.887 MHz, paired with a Signetics 2636 video controller. It features a small internal RAM buffer of around 37–43 bytes. Graphics are displayed at a resolution of roughly 128×200 pixels with up to 8 colors and support for multiple sprites. Sound is provided by a single audio channel through the RF television output. The console includes two detachable controllers, each with an analog joystick, 12-button keypad, and two fire buttons. The main unit provides power, reset, select, and start buttons. Games came on removable ROM cartridges, with an estimated library of around 40 titles officially released under Interton |
