Announced last August, THEA500 Mini finally has a release date. If you are nostalgic for the old Commodore computer or are curious, get your credit card ready for next March.
It is indeed on March 25, 2022 that Retro Games will launch THEA500 Mini, an Amiga 500 reimagined like what they had done for the C64. This machine will be offered with some 25 games. Here is the final list:
- Alien Breed 3D
- Alien Breed: Special Edition’92
- Another World
- Arcade Pool
- ATR: All Terrain Racing
- Battle Chess
- Cadaver
- California Games
- The Chaos Engine

- Simon the Sorcerer
- Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe
- Stunt Car Racer
- Super Cars II
- Titus The Fox: To Marrakech And Back
- Worms: The Director’s Cut
- Zool: Ninja Of The “Nth” Dimension
Suffice to say that all these titles remind me of sacred memories, me who still has two Amigas in the garage and boxes of games ????
As a reminder, THEA500 Mini will be supplied with a mouse taking the design of the version of the time, a pad inspired by the pad of the Amiga CD32 (not the best in history, it must be admitted). As the THEC64 Mini, you can plug in your USB keyboard to take advantage of all the possibilities. To see now if Retro Games will offer a version of this Amiga 500 in full size with a real keyboard as was the case for its C64.
THEA500 Mini has an HDMI output and has various functions such as the choice of 50 or 60Hz, various filters, the possibility of saving your games and even that of being able to upload your own files, games and firmware via USB.
THEA500 Mini is scheduled for March 25, 2022. The price is around 130 €.
