A good result - I see a Microsoft prompt there - what was it that was so bad about the original BASIC (A subset of Microsoft Basic, or so I understand?).

Well with only 8KB ROM - Half that of the Spectrum etc. for OS + (Regular) BASIC, it seems there was an Extended BASIC Cartridge:

And seems the MkII version of the Aquarius was never released:

Although this says there was a MkII but not a MkIII:

There are some discussions over its BASIC compared to Atari VCS expansion:

And quite a few Youtube videos on the Aquarius, including a Trash to Treasure one like there was for the PET.
