The MGC Board from Paradise Systems was an IBM MGA and CGA-compatible video card. As the name implies, the MGC was designed to be modular, with support for a number of add-on daughterboards to extend your PC with a parallel or serial port, additional system memory (up to 256 KB), or other modules. Up to two daughterboards can be connected at the same time via what Paradise called 'A module' and 'B module'. This allowed for, say, a battery-backed clock and additional system RAM.

In MDA/MGA modes the card does not support the extended text modes of 132 x 25 or 132 x 44, nor is it Hercules-compatible. Its colour modes support IBM CGA (in monochrome gray scales) but not Plantronics.

The card also has a header for connecting a lightpen and another for attaching a composite monitor or an RF modulator (both of which requires an adapter which isn't included with the card but could be acquired from Paradise free of charge).
