Although systems ===Interton Video 2400===This system is like the [[Magnavox Odyssey]] were released a few years earlier, the Video 2000 was a very advanced 3000 system for its erabut with paddles and without the gun option. As dedicated PONG chips did not exist yet, CMOS chips were used instead. The system contains 14 CMOS chips that draw It's very compact compared to the basic graphic objects (players, central line and ball), and produce sound effectslarger Video 2800 or Video 3000 systems.
More complex games could It was designed to be played because the cartridges could also produce additional graphic objects and configure the games by enabling the required graphics and by setting their sizesold worldwide as there are no text labels but only logical pictograms. They can also draw additional graphics like scoring. They also configure the game rules, The [[Thomson JV1T]] for example the collision management, etcis an example of rebadged Video 2400 system for foreign markets (France in this case).
The Video 2000 powers automatically when Despite the fact that it uses a cartridge is inserted. A gray knob located near the cartridge slow can be used to tune the video signalcommon [[AY-3-8500]] GI chipset, if offers 5 games, thus allowing fine-tuning on one more than what the system instead of the TV. Modern TV sets chip can easily catch the video signals with this clever feature (Philips Tele-Spiel systems also had this feature)normally do.====Games====Only The bonus game is a "5 Pong related paddles" soccer game cartridges are known to exist (in fact 2 paddles for this system even though the box-art shows two more games, Car Race left player and Naval Battle, which were not released.#Sparring#Badminton#Attacke#Tennis#Super Tennis====Club Exclusiv 2000====[[File:Interton-club-exclusiv-2000.jpg|230px|3 for right|]]This was made in 1977 for an obscure company called "Club Exclusiv" and did not show any Interton brand on console or boxone). It did NOT use a cartridge is normaly possible to play it on any pong system like the Video 2000, instead 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 (GI chipset powered) if you had can manage to buy these remote controls seperately not select any game (Accessory V350game switch must not indicate any game).

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.
