The console was produced by different companies and sold with different names. Not every console is compatible with others due to differences in the shapes and dimensions of the cartridge slots but all of the consoles are software compatible. | The console was produced by different companies and sold with different names.

All are technically compatible with the VC 4000 but the cartridge slots are different. They are not really "clones" of the Interton, just capable of running the same programs due to similar internals. Games had to be loaded into the internal RAM instead of run straight from the cartridge (this was usually done by pressing on the "Load" button twice). The consoles are grouped by slot compatibility. | All are technically compatible with the VC 4000 but the cartridge slots are different.
