The A500 Mini is a retro computer gaming system intended for nostalgic computer users who want to relive the 1980s. The A500 Mini is a little Amiga 500 computer that comes pre-loaded with 25 classic Amiga games. Users may also use a USB flash drive to load and play their own games.
The A500, which was first revealed last summer, is now available in the UK, where it can be purchased through GAME, Smyths Toys, and Amazon. It's also available for pre-order in the United States for $140, with a release date of May 31, 2022.
The system includes an Amiga-style mouse, a gaming controller, and a few contemporary peripherals such as an HDMI cable and a USB-C power cord (though you'll need to bring your own AC adapter because one isn't included). The device may output 720p video at 50 or 60 Hz to a TV or monitor. There's also an optional CRT filter that makes games look more genuine even when played on a contemporary screen.
One of the strangest aspects of the device is that the keyboard is only there to show off - you can't type on it. The keys don't move at all. Instead, they only add to the idea that you're using a 1987 PC rather than a 2022 vintage gaming system.
However, most games should be playable with just the game controller, and there is an on-screen keyboard for entering text if necessary. Alternatively, you may attach a genuine keyboard to one of the device's three USB ports while keeping the other two free for the gaming controller and mouse. Third-party gaming controllers and storage devices can also be connected to the USB ports.
The Allwinner H6 quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU, unspecified RAM, and 256MB of built-in storage for the operating system and pre-installed games power the The A500.
