A [[File:Interton_electronic_logo.png|230px|right]]'''Interton''' is a german company which started with Pong consoles and brought us the quite famous (in Europe) [[Interton VC 4000|VC 4000]].
{{Template:Infobox console|name = ''Main article: [[Interton Video 2000|image = [[File:Interton-video2000.jpg|230px]]'' |caption = Thank you http://www.pong-picture-page.de|Manufacturer == Interton|Generation = First Generation|Release date Video 2400= 1975|Media type = Cartridge|Input Controller = 2 controllers}}This system is like the very rare Video 3000 system manufactured but with paddles and released in 1975 by without the German company Intertongun option. It is one of 's very compact compared to the earliest cartridge based larger Video 2800 or Video 3000 systems sold in Europe.
Although systems like the It was designed to be sold worldwide as there are no text labels but only logical pictograms. The [[Magnavox OdysseyThomson JV1T]] were released a few years earlierfor example, the is an example of rebadged Video 2000 was a very advanced 2400 system for its era. As dedicated PONG chips did not exist yet, CMOS chips were used instead. The system contains 14 CMOS chips that draw the basic graphic objects foreign markets (players, central line and ballFrance in this case), and produce sound effects.
More complex games could be played because the cartridges could also produce additional graphic objects and configure Despite the fact that it uses a common [[AY-3-8500]] GI chipset, if offers 5 games by enabling , one more than what the required graphics chip can normally do. The bonus game is a "5 paddles" soccer game (in fact 2 paddles for left player and by setting their size3 for right one). They It is normaly possible to play it on any pong system (GI chipset powered) if you can also draw additional graphics manage to not select any game (game switch must not indicate any game). Some systems, like scoring. They also configure the Interton Video 2400 can play this game rules, for example the collision management, etcnatively though.
The Video 2000 powers automatically when a cartridge is inserted. A gray knob located near the cartridge slow can be used to tune the video signal, thus allowing fine-tuning on the system instead of the TV. Modern TV sets can easily catch the video signals with this clever feature (Philips Tele-Spiel systems also had this feature).

Only 5 Pong related game cartridges are known to exist for this system even though the box-art shows two more games, Car Race and Naval Battle, which were not released.

====Club Exclusiv 2000====
*This was made in 1977 for an obscure company called "Club Exclusiv" and did not show any Interton brand on console or box. It is possible that this system was given as a free gift for members joining some sort of club but this is unconfirmed. It offered the same games as the Video 3000 but came with a set of remote controls with no controls built inside the main unit. For the Video 3000 you had to buy these remote controls seperately (Accessory V350). The Club 2000 is a very rare collector's item today, as it's one of the very few blue Pong consoles worldwide.

This console was found in France too. It was sold under the [[Thomson]] and the [[Continental Edison]] brand. This is the smallest of the Interton systems that always had that flat, black design. This is the modified '''color''' variant of the video 2400. It offered 3 games for one or 2 players.
===Interton Video 2800===
This is probably one of the rarest Interton Pong systems. It offered a 'Robot' mode where you could play against the 'computer' and 2 racing games. Up to 4 player can play the 2 pong style games.

Well, at least, this system includes a lightgun port. In fact, it's a 2400-like system with the shooting games of the [[AY-3-8500]] chipset implemented.
It was designed to be sold worldwide as there are no text but only logical pictograms. There is also a knob on the upper left used to adjust the TV output channel.
===Interton Video 3001===
Its case looks exactly like the Video 3000 one.
