lucifershalo Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I have received my Aquarius computer, pal one with scart cable surprise the guy included a Night Stalker cart and keyboard overlay I suppose it is the most common one and it is kind of fun I thought the games were going to be lame I ordered the soon to be released multicart but what now? are there cassette game programs that I can load into my computer as wav?

jaybird3rd Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 If you look around in the file archives at the Aquarius newsgroup (you'll need to be a member to access them), you'll find quite a few cassette titles. You'll also find the Virtual Aquarius emulator, which has many of these titles bundled with it, and also includes several utilities for converting the cassette images (.CAQ files) into .WAV files. I've never done this, but I believe you can play these into an Aquarius using a Data Recorder cable (or a homemade equivalent) directly from your PC sound card, without having to transfer them to tape first. Night Stalker is indeed the most common of the Aquarius games, but it's also a good one. I've never seen a PAL Aquarius, and I'd love to get my hands on one someday. If you have the time, would you mind posting some pictures of your Aquarius? I'd especially like to see the connectors on the back. EDIT: I found a copy of Virtual Aquarius in my files, so to save you the trouble of looking for it, I've attached it here: VirtualAquarius.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) Get yourself the expander module and 2 control pads that comes with it if you don't already have 'em. They're simply a 'must have' for the Aquarius. And I bet some of those games on cassette will be expecting some extra RAM too...

lucifershalo Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 I missed the expander module that top-dog was selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd_1138 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 They go for like $30-$50 on ebay. Maybe you can snag one on the AA marketplace for less. We had an Aquarius when we were kids. We had Dungeons and Dragons and Tron Deadly Discs -- both of which were fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the-topdog Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I missed the expander module that top-dog was selling I may still have another mini-expander available. I have to check out my storage... I will check in the next couple days. I just sold the ones I happened to have in the house (except my personal one of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-topdog Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 D&D Is one of my favorite games on any system. AD&D: Treasure of Tarmin is my second favorite game cartridge for the Aquarius... Burgertime is my favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
