Although the fever for mini consoles is no longer at the level we saw a couple of years ago after the launch of the NES and SNES mini, the industry is not forgetting this way to play classic titles without spending a lot of money. Thus, it was recently announced that the Commodore Amiga 500 will downsize to bring us a series of retro games in one place.
This console hit the market in 1987, but thanks to Retro Games Ltd. and Koch Media, this platform will be able to reach a new audience, now under the name The A500 Mini. This downsized console will be available in early 2022, and will be priced at $ 139.99.
Total, The A500 Mini will feature 25 games included, among which we find:
-Alien Breed 3D.
-Another World.
-ATR: All Terrain Racing.
-Battle Chess.
-Corpse.
-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.
And if that was not enough, you can also load your own games via USB, and the mini console has full WHDLoad support. The package includes a controller as well as a mouse. This is the official description of The A500 Mini:
Developed by Retro Games Ltd. and distributed by Koch Media, THEA500 Mini features the perfect emulation, not only of the original A500 (OCS) and Enhanced Chipset (ECS) from future releases, but also of the Advanced Graphics Architecture ( AGA). of the A1200.
The THEA500 Mini comes with an original style 2-button mouse and a newly designed 8-button precision gamepad, allowing you to choose your control method. To complement the on-screen keyboard, you can connect an external standard PC keyboard for additional functionality. “
The A500 Mini will be available in early 2022 at a price of $ 139.99. On related issues, Nintendo does not rule out the possibility of launching more mini consoles.
