Wow, I got this for my 11th birthday. I even got the "printer" attachment. It was like a calculator tape machine...

Very impressive, given the fact that all we see is done with characters (and not those ugly variably-sized rectangular pixels). No pixel, no sprite, just "text". Very constraining lovely Aquarius. Those were the days ;-)

This is WAY awesome!

Most common carts can be found on Ebay.
The emulator lets you play all known Aquarius games:
Google: James the Animal Tamer Aquarius
The emulator also lets you make real copies of cassette games for play on your real Aquarius.
For more info, try the Yahoo Aquarius Group.

This is one of my favorite games ever. I still find it very playable. I love/hate playing alone in the dark, and opening a door, only to find an enemy. That monster appearing noise still bothers the hell out of me lol.

@psquared75 I still play this all the time, too, though mostly on the emulator. I know what you mean about being caught by a monster. It's the worst when you are low on hit points, and you get "trapped" by an monster, forced to battle it out to the death! Great stuff.

That is the sinister Dragon King. He takes the place of the INTV's Minotaur in the Aquarius version of the game

I wonder if you can edit some of the 8x8 characters for a Mattel Aquarius game.

Sadly, it is not possible to change the character set without swapping the hard-coded chip which contains them. That was the real Achilles heel for the machine. Some alternative chipsets were created for a project to use the Aquarius as a Videotext machine in New Zealand and Australia. I have the chips, but have never installed them.
