The Amiga 500 personal computer will return as a mini-console

The makers of the C64 Mini mini-console plan to release another device based on a classic computer next year – the A500 Mini. This refers to the late-1980s Amiga 500 PC.

The device comes bundled with 25 games, including Worms, The Chaos Engine, Another World, and Simon the Sorcerer, as well as a two-button mouse and a controller styled after the one sold with the Amiga CD32 console.

Players will also be able to run their own ROM files from a USB drive. The keyboard will not be functional due to its tiny size, but there is nothing stopping you from connecting your own.

The built-in emulator will allow running games requiring ECS and AGA chipsets from the later Amiga 600 and 1200. There is an HDMI port supporting 50 Hz and 60 Hz at 720p, along with various scaling and filtering options.

Retro Games, the company that released the successful C64 Mini, is behind the launch of the device.

The original Amiga 500 model was released in 1987 and boasted a 7.16 MHz processor and up to 1,024 KB of memory. In today’s money, the PC cost 1,200 dollars (around 89 thousand rubles).
