A news release from Koch Media (Retro Games’ parent) said The A500 Mini will have full WHDLoad support, as well as a game-save feature “to help you finish those punishingly difficult classics.” Players can also sideload their own games with a USB stick, as they did with the C64 Mini. The collector’s item/conversation piece will cost $139.99 when it goes on sale in early 2022, the 35th anniversary of the PC’s launch.Ĭlassic gaming fans will find 25 Amiga staples in the A500’s onboard library of games - among them Interplay’s 1991 hit Another World, the 1993 point-and-click adventure Simon the Sorcerer, steampunk run-and-gunner The Chaos Engine (which was later ported to home consoles of the day), and Team 17’s 1995 hit Worms (as Worms: The Director’s Cut), which launched a franchise of almost two dozen sequels and spinoffs. The latest throwback mini console is an homage to a home computer - the Commodore Amiga 500, reborn as The A500 Mini from Retro Games Ltd, the same company behind 2018’s C64 Mini.
