A principios de los 80s, cuando el mercado de los ordenadores caseros estaba en apogeo, Mattel, fabricante de las Barbies, lanzó al mercado el ordenador #mattelaquarius. Y esta es la triste historia de un olvidado "ordenador de los 70 que se vendió en los #80s". #retrocomputingmx #computerhistory

Time for an embarrassing plug!! As the self-proclaimed 'Defender of the Mattel Aquarius' I feel it is my duty to show off the games I have written for the mighty Aquarius over the past few years. If you would like some digital downloads for your Aquarius (or emulator) then please check out my itch page https://loudscotsbloke.itch.io/
If you would like an actual physical copy of any of my games, on cassette (yes! tape!), then please head over to Cronosoft https://cronosoft.fwscart.com/browse/cat5357733_4720275.aspx

Looks like we are in business for tonight! Locking in a #MattelAquarius type in over on twitch at 20:30 GMT!

Had my head in code all week havent even thought about tomorrow's stream..

I'll see if the RF capture box will work and go for a #MattelAquarius type in. Failing that perhaps finally have the #ZXSpectrum +2B make its stream debut pretending to be a ZX80 and do a type in on that

Why not treat yourself to some brand new, modern physical cassette games for your Mattel Aquarius!!?

Show your wee blue key some love.

@loudscotsbloke mine would be more beautiful with a functional psu. Are you still using the standard AC pack? #mattelaquarius (edited for hashtag)

A thing of beauty 😍♒

while looking for some information on the #ay89xx series of #soundchips, I've stumbled across this informative website dedicated to the #MattelAquarius - I do not own such a machine but I love to read about all the details on this site nonetheless, very well done ...
