The Commodore Amiga Gets A Mini Version

Dubbed the THEA500 Mini, this is the latest gaming machine to get a mini version. Retro Games Ltd. is releasing what it says is a fully-licensed homage early next year. Inspired by the Amiga 500, it’s filled with 25 Amiga games, including Worms, The Chaos Engine, Another World, and Simon The Sorcerer.

Amiga Corporation is no more, but some of its trademarks are held by Amiga, Inc. According to Popular Science, the rights to the computer and its software have languished in legal hell.

So far, only 12 of the 25 games have been announced for the mini Amiga: 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, and Zool: Ninja Of The ‘’Nth’’ Dimension.

It’s also possible to load your own games via USB, and the mini console has full WHDLoad support.
