This "4in1" is definitely a Radio Shack model, which was sold in their stores
until recently, plays four different games: chess, checkers, etc. It is a small
portable unit with pegboard style pieces. It's just a little bigger than the
"1650" unit, but much smaller than the "2150L". I have always liked small
portables I can use when I travel.
I'm not sure what programs are put into their units.
