What would the Aquarius have evolved into if Mattel hadn't abandoned the system back in 1984? The Aquarius+ is the next-generation of Z80-based 8-bit hardware for the Aquarius platform. The intent is to deliver a cost-effective, backwards-compatible retro computer system that both developers and nostalgists will love and use, all in the spirit of the original, orphaned Aquarius platform.

Features:

• Backward compatibility with existing Aquarius hardware and software
• Modern, flexible video solution that supports bitmapped graphics, sprites, and tiles, delivered through clean VGA output
• Dual AY sound chips (virtual) for six sound voices
• 512kb of paged RAM in four 16k banks
• Reworked SYSROM and programmable CHARROM
• Integrated SD card and commands (remove dependency on cassette loading)
• WiFi connectivity
• Bluetooth connectivity for modern game controllers
