RetroGames has already made headlines some time ago when they announced the C64 Mini. And since this is our cover story today, you guessed it. Or you have seen it yourself. They did it again, but this time targeting the Amiga 500!

Yes! 🎉

The ladies and gentlemen behind RetroGames announced that the A500 Mini will be released in early 2022 and will cost $139.99 / €129.99 / £119.99 respectively. After the package leaves the sweaty hands of the delivery guy, your heart rate will have a significant increase. The console will include Worms, The Chaos Engine, Another World, Simon the Sorcerer and all in all 25 games.

What is special, is, that the machine not only emulates the A500’s OCS chip set, but also the enhanced ECS chip set of the A500+ and the Advanced Graphics Architecture (AGA) of the A1200. So you can insert an USB stick with your own Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200 ROMs and play those with full WHDLoad support. You will get a mouse and a gamepad, the non-functional keyboard can be replaced by a standard PC keyboard and the console - of course - comes with a CRT filter for the 8-Bit-Times-Real-Deal-Feel™.

You can get a glimpse in this video should you want to.

The only remaining question is: How do we speed up time now?
