A better explamation: It is ONE cassette tape with all of the before listed 
games on it, thats why I said that they may not be of much real interest. I 
believe they were made on the Aquarious, using its Basic programing as the 
manual that comes with the computer contains several pre-written programs 
that one only has to properly type into the computer and save on tape. It 
would appear that they were made by the company rather than a previous owner 
of the machine though as these games don't appear in the manual and look 
advanced...

Yes it works, if not, I would have thrown it into the scrap bin. grin...
It hooks up the same as an Adam. Cassette into the computer, computer into 
the back of a tv set. Computer power pack into the wall outlet.

I'd say its similiar to the Adam and Commodor 64. As for a test product?  Not 
sure how you mean that.  By the manual, it states that add-ons were made for 
it: Mini-Expander Module(the picture shows two pad controllers attached to 
it), a 40 column printer, a Data Recorder(which I have for it), a 4 color 
printer, a QD Floppy Disk Drive.
I had one several years ago that came with 4 game cartridges but lost that 
one to a fire. sigh.  The games were quite good as I remember them, one was 
TRON. Another one was REAL similiar to the present day "Settlers" ibm game 
out now. I think it was called Pirates or something...

Sigh, in my opinion, the computer is not worth much without the additional 
add-ons and game cartridges. I would like your LOL2 and Stonekeep and, if you 
wanted, I'd take Space Quest 6. But you decide. The Aquarious isn't doing me 
any good sitting here whereas your games would be...
It would be good for as a beginning learning tool as it is build solid and 
should take pletty of abuse from a frustrated small-fry. grin...Oh, it has 
"Poke" commands and Graphics charcters like the old Commodor 64 basic 
language which is what I first cut my computer teeth on. grin...
PS: what is Quarintine and what game is it comparable too.?
In a NutShell: I'd like LOL2 and Stonekeep and I'll pay shipping to ship the 
Aquarious and its data recorder to you and you pay shipping to ship your 
games to me.  Also would accept SQ6 and possibly Quarintine if you want to 
throw them in. Your choice. I guarantee that the system does work when I pack 
it up and I'll pack it darn good against the mail service. snicker...
