Interton Video 3000

The Interton Video 3000 is a dedicated first-generation home video game console released in West Germany in 1976 by Interton. It is based on the General Instrument AY-3-8500 chipset, which powered many similar Pong-type systems of the era. The console features six built-in games: Tennis, Football, Squash, Practice, Skeet, and Moving Target.

The system outputs black-and-white graphics and uses an internal speaker for sound. It comes equipped with two hardwired paddle controllers and a light gun port, allowing support for shooting games compatible with the AY-3-8500 chip. Controls on the main unit include switches for game selection and difficulty adjustment, along with a channel selector.
