Matra later released two successor models:
* The '''Matra Alice 32''' released in 1983 shared the case style of the original, but was a different computer inside, due to using the [[Thomson EF9345|EF9345]] video chip.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=Matra Alice 32 |url=http://www.silicium.org/oldskool/france/matra/alice32.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091114081536/http://www.silicium.org/oldskool/france/matra/alice32.htm |archive-date=2009-11-14|access-date=2022-12-26 |website=www.silicium.org}}</ref><ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=Alice |url=http://www.ordinosaures.fr/page14.html |access-date=2022-12-26 |website=www.ordinosaures.fr}}</ref><ref name=":1" /> The Alice 32 had 8 [[kilobyte]]s of main [[RAM]], 8 kilobytes of dedicated video [[RAM]], and 16 kilobytes [[Read-only memory|ROM]] (the ROM incorporated an [[Assembly language#Assembler|assembler]]). The CPU was clocked at 1 MHz.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Matra Alice 32 |url=https://www.system-cfg.com/detail.php?ident=292 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061118211923/http://www.system-cfg.com/detail.php?ident=292 |archive-date=2006-11-18 |access-date=2022-12-26 |website=www.system-cfg.com}}</ref> Higher resolution graphic modes included 320 × 192 with 16 colors from a 256 color palette.<ref name=":2" />

The [[Thomson EF9345]] video chip in the Matra Alice 32/90 was capable of displaying 8 colors, 128 alphanumeric characters, and 128 semi-graphic characters with a [[Semigraphics|semigraphic]] mode and 40- and 80-column text modes. It could address up to 16 KiB of dedicated VRAM although the Alice 32 and 90 only included 8 KiB. The 32x16 semigraphic mode of the original Alice was simulated in software by the Alice 32/90 system ROM.<ref>{{cite web|title=ROM Alice 32 Commentée par SEILEBOST|url=http://alice32.free.fr/documentation/alice32-rom/alice32-rom.zip|website=alice32.free.fr}}</ref>
