"Can't let go of your childhood? Me too!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This little console is a must have for anyone lucky enough to have an Amiga back in the day. I've had a lot of reliving some of these old games, some have stood the test of time while others have left me wondering “how did I play this for hours and hours on end as a kid?”

The best feature is you can add your own games, but be warned, not all games work. The entire reason I bought the A500 mini is so I could play the Monkey Island series again, but to my disappointment I have been unable to get any of the games working on the A500

"Great to own"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Brings back memories and the great games to play again but with a gamepad this time

"Great quick start experience"
4 stars"

You turn it on and there are Amiga games. Things to know: It will take an xbox wired controller with no configuration needed. Use your own USB C cable if you plan to plug everything into the A500 mini as the included one won't handle the power draw. The included HDMI isn't the best either.
