Mattel Aquarius in the mail today

Quick rundown of the Mattel Aquarius. For 1982 it's not that bad! I think not much has changed since then as far as M$ is concerned, they were everywhere then, too, seems like.

For 1982 the Mattel Aquarius was a terrible computer! It was worse than even the keyboard expansion for the intellivision and that was terrible as well. It can't even have programable sprites. At the time of its release, I owned a Commadore Vic 20 and then a Coleco Adam. I didn't pick up an Aquarius till the early 90s at a yard sale. I couldn't even get a simple version of Hammurabi typed in and run it without running out of memory. Thanks for posting the video!

@baroncalamity Right, it's a weird piece of tech, and I love the weird stuff. Glad you liked the vid, though. How I wish there was an SD card cart for it.

That's really awesome. Too bad Mattel bailed out of the electronics market.
