Reducto worthy.
Retro Games, responsible for the Commodore 64 Mini, didn’t rest on their laurels. Because they’re following up with a mini version of Commodore’s Amiga 500, which they’re calling the A500 Mini.
Per their site, the A500 Mini features a replica 2 button mouse and an 8 button gamepad out of the box. It has support for loading your own games via USB stick with WHDLoad, in addition to the 25 curated Amiga classics packed in. It also has a save feature to let you resume where you left off as you please. It even emulates the Advanced Graphics Architecture (AGA) of the A1200. Lamentably, the keyboard on the unit is merely decorative; you’ll have to provide your own via USB.
As for those 25 pack-in games, only 12 have yet been announced, but there are more on the way. here’s what they’ve already got on offer:
- Alien Breed 3D
- Another World
- ATR: All Terrain Racing
- Battle Chess
- Cadaver
- Kick Off 2
- Pinball Dreams
- Simon The Sorcerer
- Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe
- The Chaos Engine
- Worms: The Director’s Cut
- Zool: Ninja Of The ”Nth” Dimension
The A500 Mini is set to launch in early 2022, to coincide with the computer’s 35th anniversary. Pre-orders are already open on Amazon, which will set you back $139.99 / £119.99.
