This family of consoles released around 1982, includes many sub-categories depending on the cosmectic plastic case used, the motherboards version and above all its cartridge slot type. That's why all these systems are "software" compatible, but not "cartridge" compatible. The Sheen 2001 Home Video Centre was marketed in Australia. The other systems using the same case & cartridge slot, and thus directly compatible with it, are the [Ormatu Video Spelcomputer 2001](/museum/ormatu-electric-bv-ormatu-video-spelcomputer-2001/) (Netherlands),[Intervision 2001](/museum/intervision-2001-home-video-centre/) and the [Intervision 3001](/museum/intervision-3001-home-video-centre/) (Finland, Spain, Switzerland?). The Sheen's motherboard is labeled "M1800 11-00253-10 REV-3". It is thus classified as a M1800 system, like some other consoles of this type. Please read the [Ormatu Video Spelcomputer 2001](/museum/ormatu-electric-bv-ormatu-video-spelcomputer-2001/) entry for more info. --- Thanks to Avon Fox for the picture.
