Apart from the chipset, this pong is 100% French made, with an original design. The name 6000 must be because of the AY-3-8600 chipset used in this pong, as the OC-5000 must be named after its GI AY-3-8500 chipset.

The paddles are fairly simple...round and cute with analog joysticks. The cosmetic design in general is very typical of late 70's french productions...

Although the OC 6000 was released after the OC 5000, it does not have the excellent "robot" function anymore. Neither does it have a light-gun, because the chipset used inside does not offer any shooting games.
