Mattel Aquarius Home Computer System (aquarius)

for Batocera and Retrobat

The Mattel Aquarius Home Computer System  is a home computer designed by Radofin and released by Mattel in 1983. It features a Zilog Z80microprocessor, a rubber chiclet keyboard, 4K of RAM, and a subset of Microsoft BASIC in ROM. It connects to a television set for audio and visual output, and uses a cassette tape recorder for secondary data storage.

Although less expensive than the TI-99/4A and Commodore VIC-20, the Aquarius had comparatively weak graphics and limited memory. Of the 32 software titles Mattel announced for the unit, only 21 were released, most of which were ports from Mattel's Intellivision game console. 
Shortly after the release of the Aquarius, Mattel announced plans for another home computer, the Aquarius II. There is evidence that the Aquarius II reached the market in small numbers, but it was never a commercial success.
