EdgeOfPortal Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Welcome to the Aquarius Collecting List thread. Each time a new version of the spreadsheet is available, it will be posted here. If you've got new information to add/remove to/from the sheet, please discuss it here! Discussion for the Aquarius is also available at it's Discord server: https://discord.gg/TjCZZZ8HZQ Additionally, an Aquarius Serial Number Database is now available! You can submit your Aquarius serial numbers whenever it is convenient here:https://forms.gle/BExXHTuuybzYpTY58 The sheet itself is available here for viewing:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1suxtWmP6a0InPC74ZCPC7keyDvXlE88b70H_0DTbg1o/edit?usp=sharing Once the list has a decent number of serials, my belief is that we'll be able to establish some patterns between serial numbers and uncover more information about our favorite blue keyboard. Additionally, it will help us determine just how many units of each Aquarius product were produced, and for what region, under what variant. For information on cartridge contents and variants, see here: https://forums.atariage.com/topic/349267-aquarius-documenting-the-contents-of-all-aquarius-cartridges-and-variants/Current Version: 3.0 The list now consists of 81 cassette tapes, 35 cartridges (incl. variants), 17 hardware (incl. variants), 16 literature items, and 5 bundles.Changelog: v3.0 (1/27/22): -Added Doomsday Defender (Cassette) from Cronosoft/Roy Templeman -Added Turmoil 2022 (Cartridge/Cassette) from 8-Bit Milli Games -Added Games Pack 3 and 4 (Cassette) from Processor Software -Added the Radofin variant of Biorhythms (Cartridge) -Added a US variant of the 4-Color Printer and changed the original to reflect the European version -Added Thinking About [TLC] Logo for Mattel Aquarius (Literature) -Added Kronos Europea Bundle (Bundle) Aquarius Computer Collecting List v3.0.xlsx Edited March 12, 2023 by EdgeOfPortal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgeOfPortal Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 1 minute ago, Intymike said: Nothing I can add! Thanks anyway. I managed to find one more game by looking around. Diamond Mine by Add-On Electronics. Required 16K and I've never heard of this one. Added it to this list, but I'm missing it's catalog #, author, and release year. I'm still looking for as many cassettes to add as possible if anyone can help though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeOfPortal Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Anyone have info on a game called "Tablets of Hippocrates"? Apparently this was released for the Aquarius in 1984, but I can't find all that much info on it. Must have been released on cassette but I'd like some confirmation. Thanks.

I'll leave it as one for now, and if new info comes out, I'll change it. Sounds like it would be 16K though, so I'll change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgeOfPortal Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Anyone know of an Aquarius Cassette called “Zorgon’s Kingdom” that needed 16K? Found an old listing from early 2010s that says it’s for the Aquarius but the image is a bit blurry. Released by Romik Software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaman Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 No info on Zorgon's Kingdom for the Aquarius I am affraid. Some additional info on your current listing: N-Vaders Author Kevin Baker. Rally driver is a 16K game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to turn the list into a full collecting list with all known officially released cassettes, cartridges, hardware, literature, and bundles I think. And Zorgon's Kingdom brings this to 67 cassettes. Decided to make an entry for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeOfPortal Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Collecting list is complete with all information I can find. 67 Cassettes, 22 Cartridges, 12 Hardware, 11 Literature, and 4 Bundles. I'll also be making a new topic for it, but I'll post it here first. Use if you like, or don't, I originally was making it for personal use.

Not even just the software itself, but the fact that it was supposedly released in 1986. That’s got to be the latest software released for the system if true.

Normally don’t like to visit that site, but I was stretching to find every cassette I could possibly find and that was a good spot. Found Diamond Mine there as well.
