Great to hear about the Aquarius Fileform protectors! Are there plans for the Logo/Extended Basic box, as well? Hardware? Love the work you're doing! I've got your standard Aquarius box protectors for my whole game library and they are excellent!

Neat! Always love to see Aquarius promotional material. Thanks for showing us!

Bump! Reminder to all that the Aquarius serial number database is up and accepting submissions! If you’ve got a minute, feel free to contribute your serial numbers!

Added your entries to the sheet. Thanks! Thanks for the link! For now, I'm just going to accept entries through the google form. Eventually, however, once submissions slow down, I will probably add these. Looking forward to seeing your serials! Agreed on the 404 serial number databases, it's so frustrating. That's part of why I chose google sheets. The likelihood it ever goes down is slim to none.

Neat! Hoping to find more patterns like that. Thanks for inputting your serials, I’ll have them added to the spreadsheet in a bit.

Correct! Sorry for the confusion, I’m not sure else how to define that on the sheet.

Yep! Should’ve clarified this. Apologies for the low quality photos, but here’s an example. Radofin produced two variants of the standard Aquarius branded system. One with the Aquarius logo on the left, and one on the right. From what I can tell, the right one is more common.

Hey, everyone. The old Aquarius serial number database at GeekVintage has long since been shutdown, and I feel it's about time for that to be fixed. Starting today, my Aquarius Computer Serial Number Database is now available! It includes all Aquarius hardware, as well as select difficult to obtain cartridges. You can submit your Aquarius serial numbers whenever it is convenient here: https://forms.gle/BExXHTuuybzYpTY58 The sheet itself is available here for viewing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1suxtWmP6a0InPC74ZCPC7keyDvXlE88b70H_0DTbg1o/edit?usp=sharing Once the list has a decent number of serials, my belief is that we'll be able to establish some patterns between serial numbers and uncover more information about our favorite blue keyboard. Additionally, it will help us determine just how many units of each Aquarius product were produced, and for what region, under what variant. This post will be mirrored at the new Aquarius Serial Number Database topic here on AtariAge, and at the Aquarius discord server. https://discord.gg/YjHfdK2

Also interested, would definitely buy one.

Please share it! I can't believe I've missed this seller in the past. I have to wonder just how much middle-eastern exclusive Aquarius software there is.

It has been sold, it’s listed as out of stock. The listing is still up, but the seller has it set up as if it were a multiple quantity item, so it just says ‘out of stock’.

Was hoping to win this one myself, but didn’t end up succeeding. https://www.ebay.com/itm/125635317817? New unseen Aquarius software, the Arabic editor. This brings the list of total official retail cartridges to 21, up from 20. Demo cart is not included in this count as it was used only in sales. It’ll be added in the next release of the Aquarius collecting list. This cart is presumably exclusive to Egypt, and is likely the only one in existence. If the person who won this reads this post, please, please dump the cartridge.

Back sides + internals:

Thought I'd give a nice look at the Command Console prototype, as I'd like to make a record of it. First off, in case anyone is unaware, the Command Console is an unreleased add-on developed at Mattel for the Aquarius Computer. It was essentially the precursor to the smart home. The numbered buttons on it would have controlled different parts of your home, if you had it's software (a dump of the software is available on the AquariCart). The following post has photos of it's back and internals, so that people can compare it to it's TRS-80 counterpart.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/175361985032 Good price on an Aquarius Modem.

Never seen it either, before winning it. Here's both sides: As you can see there's quite a lot of text on the back. Not sure what it says though, can't read German.

Speaking of German instructions... Got my German Aquarius manuals in. No computer to go with it, but this is a good start. Won them for pretty cheap but shipping to the states was less than pleasant.

Would also like to know. Very nice haul! I never find anything like this locally.

The original intent was to list additional memory. Given the circumstances behind some of these tapes and that I don’t own most of them to check, I can’t confirm the memory requirements in most cases, but generally I would like to keep it as additional. That’s why as you pointed out, many games have ‘standard’ listed, meaning they can run on a stock Aquarius, while other games list other amounts.

I will try not to think about the numerous times I passed on Super Pro boxed units for ~$100.

Of course! I will make those changes in the next version for Aquariworm and Bomb Catcher II. Not quite sure how to show the different versions for BCII but I’ll think of something. As for Warp Factor, I’ll add it if it ends up getting a cassette release. The list is for physical releases only. Though, if enough people agree, perhaps I can add a digital section. Appreciate your work in the Aquarius homebrew scene, by the way.
