| The story so far.... | |||
| The Aquarius was originally designed by Radofin
Electronics Ltd, and was always manufactured by them. Mattel needed a
programmable, basic home computer system in their product range, so they
bought the rights to this machine.
When the product bombed, they gave the rights back to Radofin, along with a huge pile of unsold stock and an undisclosed sum of money. Radofin continued to make and market the machine, and did have plans to bring out a range of accessories and successors, but the entire home console market took a nose dive and many of the plans were shelved. Radofin Electronics UK Ltd, went into voluntary liquidation in August 1991. I contacted the agent which handled the liquidation and took ownership of the remaining Aquarius hardware rights. |
