Mattel Aquarius
Here it is, the machine that spawned no imitations whatsoever on account of its unfortunate poorness. I read originally that the BASIC featured on these machines was really cut down so it didn't even support FOR-NEXT loops, but the one machine out of 2 here that has a plug on seems to like them once I sorted out my bad typing on that awful keyboard :) Click the pix below for bigness and extra info. An annoyance with these machines (well, another one) is that the power supply is hard-wired to the machine so it can't be disconnected. Grr....
2017 Update and new pictures. A clean up after 10 years in storage and it looks like it's been leaked into which is nice. Still works though, and that keyboard is still awful.
