    If you are looking for a multicart, then I highly recommend Jay's Aquaricart - instant load (but no write functionality) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123726769111?hash=item1cceb0abd7:g:Xt0AAOSwq5lTqz4a The Micro (not mini) expander is a good choice if you want USB capability, but the units are rare, and then often only sold as kits. But it does allow you to read and write to a USB fob, with fast rom and caq support, and an excellent upgraded version of BASIC. There is also the AquaMax that will give you SD card reader functionality (plus 32k ram), but only emulates the tape deck (so slow load times) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154850475718?hash=item240dcebec6:g:RowAAOSw43liC-Y4 and if you are looking for some new games for your Aquarius, I recommend https://cronosoft.fwscart.com/MATTEL_AQUARIUS/cat5357733_4720275.aspx

    Hello mate, can I ask for a couple of changes/updates? My games, Aquariworm needs 8K not 4K, BCII has 3 different versions on the same tape. A 4K version, an 8K version and a 16K version (not sure how you want to show that?). All good with Doomsday Defender! I am also working on Warp Factor (a Star Trek game), you may have seen my screenshots on discord or twitter. I havent really decided whether or not I want to publish it as a cassette yet, or just make it a digital download. Cronosoft are keen to publish though, so you might want to add that? Its a 16K game.
  5. Loudscotsbloke
    Not me, but the publisher (Cronosoft).

    It took a while, but finally DOOMSDAY DEFENDER is available to buy on cassette. Head over to Cronosoft ( https://tinyurl.com/doomsdayd ) to get your copy!!

    I have looked in to cartridge's, and the simple fact is that they cost too much to produce in small quantities, hence my choice of cassette as a physical medium. Tapes are still fairly easy to get hold of, and are still quite cheap, as well as the cases. I know that a lot of Aquarius games came on cartridge, but quite a few were also released on cassette. My previous games are available from Cronosoft for around £6, and I expect Doomsday Defender to be about the same. A cart would be 3 to 4 times more expensive ?.

    My new game for the Aquarius will be out soon as a digital download and as a physical cassette via Cronosoft. DOOMSDAY DEFENDER . Your city has been invaded by giant alien motherships, which are launching alien fighters that are attacking your city! You must stop your city from being destroyed! Shoot the alien fighters before they destroy too much of your city. Avoid being shot by alien fire, and don't crash in to the alien fighters. Shoot the fighters, and if they leave behind a © token, then shoot that to extinguish some of the city fires. You gain points and energy for every fighter you shoot, but lose energy for every city fire. Watch out though, as the fighters have shields! If they turn yellow, your shot will be useless. If too much of your city is in flames, then your game is over. Changing the difficulty setting from NORMAL to HARD will change the city scape to the White House. The rules are the same, but this level is much harder to master! Look out for my other Aquarius games, both Aquariworm and Bomb Catcher 2 are available as downloads and as physical cassette releases!

    I have spent months repairing my Aquarius2. Now that she is operational, I thought that I would look at creating some software that was specific to this platform, rather than just an Aquarius game. I have already written and published a couple of new games for the Aquarius (Aquariworm and Bomb Catcher 2), so I thought about adapting one of those rather than starting from scratch... Well! A historic moment! Welcome to the FIRST and ONLY game for the Aquarius2! ??? I have created a version of my Bomb Catcher 2 game that only runs on the Aquarius2, which I think is a world first! Granted.. the market is quite small ?
  11. Loudscotsbloke
    Ahh...... such memories of the running man, or Ralph as I have always called him. Great to see someone stepping in to the world of the wee blue key!
  12. Loudscotsbloke
    A thing of beauty!! Enjoy!!
  13. Loudscotsbloke
    Awesome! and thank you!!
  14. Loudscotsbloke
    Well..... I know of at least 2 cassette based games you dont have
  15. Loudscotsbloke
    Thanks for the name correction! - Glad to see the list is coming along. A couple of corrections for my games, if thats ok. Aquariworm memory requirement is 8K, and BC2 has 3 versions on the one cassette (16K, 8K and 4K) ?. If you are including 'unofficial' titles, then I also have Aquariworm and Bomb Catcher 2 on cart! (thanks to Jay!)
