The VT Socrates was an educational video game console. The console featured a robot character named Socrates, named after the philosopher. The system featured standard wireless controllers that communicated via infrared reception. The system was quite expensive upon its initial release. Due to the price and the competition with VTrech’s other products, the Socrates was phased out after only a few years.
