Quote from: theflea on April 12, 2013, 11:55:41 pmJust got an Intertron VC4000 today, Got it for $15 wth 12 games. Shipping was a bit much to get it from the UK but still cheaper then most for the system alone. It was pretty dirty but once I cleaned it up it's looks pretty good.Tested it out on my PAL TV and it works and all the carts work fine. The picture is a bit fuzzy think it might need a new RF cable. The Joysticks remind me of the Atari 5200 but at least they center better the the 5200. The Graphics look like an Atari 2600 and the best games (that I got anyway) are Invaders (Space Invaders clone) and Monster Man (Pac-Man clone). Not sure if any of the games I got are really "rare" but In the US they are all rare. lolI've seen a whole lot of systems in my time, but I had never heard of this one. I had to go look it up. Any fun? Or is it more of a collector's item for you?

There was only like 36 games ever made for it.

I have this unexplainable affinity for it.
Got a big lot of Sega stuff off Craigslist last night -- mostly Genesis games (all but 4 came with at least the box).The crown of the lot is a CIB Action 52! Here's the rest:Genesis:Addams FamilyAlex KiddCrue BallDraculaDragon's FuryFantasiaHome AloneIndiana JonesIncredible HulkJungle BookLotus IIMickey ManiaMighty MaxPagemasterPTORadical RexSonic & KnucklesSuper Monaco GPSuper Tecmo BowlShinobi IIIThe TickGame Gear:Halley WarsSonic Triple TroubleSonic ChaosSuper ColumnsWoody PopIt also included a Game Genie, 1 model 1 Genesis, 2 model 2 Genesis (1 non-working), 1 non-working Game Gear and like 6 controllers.All for $50.
