EdgeOfPortal Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 In my eBay Aquarius hunting, I’ve noticed a new catalog that I personally have never seen before. Looks Italian maybe? It comes with an Italian Kronos Europea Data Recorder and computer. Now the price is absurd so I personally wouldn’t buy it but has anyone seen this catalog before? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F223869189950 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Very interesting. I don't believe I've seen that one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeOfPortal Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Just messaged the seller and asked if he’d scan in the catalog. Long shot but worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever come across a duplicate catalog, let me know. I’d be interested in buying one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These will certainly be useful. Interesting that this catalog also includes the unreleased Lock 'n' Chase and Sea Battle. Those two games must have been far along in development; I've even seen a box mockup for Lock 'n' Chase. Here's hoping that prototypes are discovered someday!

It's hard to tell from that screenshot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all stylized screenshots (in the American catalog, too), but I'm pretty sure that it was based on the Intellivision version. The last time I studied it closely, the contours of the islands seemed a little too fine-grained for the Aquarius's relatively chunky character graphics.

I would imagine that they reused their Intellivision screenshots just to save time on the catalog designs. The screenshot of Chess that is shown in the catalog is the Intellivision version, too. EDIT: ... and so is the Utopia screenshot! Astrosmash and Snafu are probably the Intellivision versions, too, but they look very similar on the Aquarius. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
