Intymike Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Whats the thing on the right with the 8 buttons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Very nice system! Yes, that eight-button peripheral is the X10 Command Module, originally developed for the Aquarius (the case design is a dead giveaway) but sold by Tandy for the Color Computer after the Aquarius was discontinued. When you get your Aquaricart, you'll be getting the prototype X10 software with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rietveld Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 I convinced my wife that the Aquaricart and 32k memory expansion would be a good birthday gift. I hope that the x10 software on the cart can be used to program the controller. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the 16 I just don't seem to find much time to play it. Oh well. Maybe when I get old and retire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the 16 I just don't seem to find much time to play it. Oh well. Maybe when I get old and retire I was lucky enough to get a couple of Turbo Express units after the console was officially killed in USA, so they were cheap (typical pattern when tech is first phased out before it becomes "collectible"). Then I was even luckier to get the caps replaced and had a 3.5" screen mod done. Now with a Turbo Everdrive (equivalent of an LTO FLash for the Turbo), it is awesome! A must-get. Perfect for travel. Plus now I don't have to worry about the kids damaging my original BGDB or Street Fighter II HuCard. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
