The Aquarius Computer was a failed attempt at Mattel to offer an affordable classic computer to compete with others such as Commodore Vic 20 and TI 99 4/A in 1983. Low sales and demand resulted in this computer being discontinued only 4 months after its initial release and sold back to Radofin. While very unsuccessful, there is an impressive multi-cart made for it documenting much of what was released.
