Yes, good to see its an official licensed product From Keith Roberson and the Blue Sky Rangers (Intellivision Lives)
:offtopic:
Got the "still Blocky" shirt and the Intellivision Lives CD years ago from them, and I even Updated Keith on something he did not know.
After Mattel stopped selling the Aquarius Computer, Radolfin continued to sell it in the same packaging, but without the Mattel name.
Back in '98 I was collecting anything Intellivision, and I had about 10 BOXED Aquarius units,(back then, you could get a boxed unit for dirt cheap on E-bay, because nobody collected them).
One box I had had multi-national language printing on it and NO Mattel logos. Even the catalog has accessories listed that Mattel had never listed.
So I sent pictures to Keith and he actually e-mailed me back. He had never seen these and presumed that it was sold after Mattel bailed on them.
For a system that they say ONLY sold 8,000 units world wide, they sure were easy to get a hold of back then. I never got an Aquarius 2, which I really wanted, but I had almost everything else. Even the printer and Tape drive that you could hook up to the Intellivision Computer component and store programs and print them out. It was a thermal paper printer IIRC.
BTW, If you are wondering, the Aquarius was a terrible computer. Even the programers saw working on it as punishment from Mattel. Honestly, it was the worst 8bit computer I have ever worked on. It was so hard to type with it, Thats why I wanted to find the A2, They are out there, but probably only in Europe.
