The Games
For the Interton VC4000 there are 37 games, all developed by Interton itself. Initially, the boxes contain keyboard templates made of cardboard, later only if the games are so complex that this is absolutely necessary.
Almost all modules are based on contemporary Atari titles, up to direct copies (war in space (No. 19) e.g. is a plagiarism of Star Wars: The Arcade Game, up to the form of opponents and the music of John Williams).
Games are usually produced at Interton by announcing a title with a cover, but only then look around for someone who can program what you want. This does not necessarily publish the games in the order that suggests numbering. In the case of Space Laser (planned as No. 34), Rodeo (35) and Basketball (39), this even leads to the modules never appearing, because after the announcement it turns out that the concepts on the VC4000 are not feasible.
