The official website of the manufacturer of hearing aids interton.de unfortunately does not mention the console story at any point.

The VC4000 console (developed from 1974 onwards and sold from 1978 onwards) was the only console that was (almost) exclusively developed and produced in Germany. The games were playfully simple and had a very reduced graphics. Modules were only available from Interton itself, which restricted the selection to 40 games. However, 3 of the 40 games have never been released.

Thus, the VC4000 was more likely to be a niche as a cheaper variant of the "right" consoles such as the Intellivision or the 2600 from Atari. The device was around DM 100 cheaper than the competitors and also the games were for about 40 DM less to have. There were also various identical consoles, such as the Körting TVC4000 device and the Grundig Super-Play Computer 4000 as well as systems that were basically compatible with the hardware used, such as the Radofin 1292. The VC4000 console was not only in Germany, but also in England , France, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands and Australia.
