The Amiga FINALLY gets the mini console treatment. I give it a full workout, unboxing, set-up, testing every included game, how to load your own games onto it and then some thing it wasn't designed for. How well can it run demos and Amiga Workbench?!

You're definitely not the only one, I had the same idea for an SD card slot there. A floppy disk "adapter" would have been fun, didn't think of that. As to why they didn't do it - I think it comes down to the added cost, the whole system would have been too expensive. I mean, why didn't they use a functional keyboard? Sure, it's tiny, but they could have made it work...

yep... The ONLY review i've ever heard someone mention of an on-screen keyboard (Press "M" key) based on manual... This by itself would sell the A500 mini as so many hate the 3d printed look, and it would sove the reason of having to hook up a separate keyboard., so i dunno why so many reviews on KZfaq lack this feature ...... Has Dan got an updated model/flashed (possible)? or perhaps 90% of KZfaqrs just skip over this 'important part.' Maybie many think its not an important feature, but it should be number #1..

Excellent - been excited/worried about this since reading about it in Amiga Addict a while back - could have gone so wrong. As it happens it feels like one of the best, if not the best, of the mini consoles/formats. Only right that the best should be the one honoring the Amiga. It's clearly been done with reverence and love - everything from the form factor to the game choice is really on the money. Oh, and goes without saying, but this is the only review video that matters - I've ignored the others thrown at me by the algorithm over the last few days. Thanks for all the years of Amiga content Dan.

If I ever attempt the plunge in obtaining further Amiga games to play on this system, I shall have to check back to this informative video!

Bah... tough decision! On one hand I really like to get one of these... but on the other... I have an old original Amiga 500 sitting here which I bought of eBay last year... but it has some defect chips on the motherboard. On top of that, I'm not sure if the disk drive is working properly. BUT I just LOVE inserting Amiga disks into the drive and that distinctive special sound the Amiga makes when reading... it is definitely an old mans nostalgia, I know, but all this disk handling and the whole procedure is so gratifying in a very special way... and thanks for that extensive review, Dan!

Nice review... pre-ordered mine after this video and got it on release date (Sweden). For a plug-and-play solution with very little faffing about, it is probably the next best thing to a real Amiga. I emulate my old A1200T productivity workstation and not a lot of games works, but all the software works great (LightWave 3D, Imagine 4.x, Octamed Soundstudio etc) and most high end demos from the demo-scene. I have made a collection of my fav games on a USB stick and... there is one or two that seems to have a problem... but all those that works... fantastic!!!! Instead of using my emulated Amiga, Vampire V4 SA, Sam460 or AmigaOne X5000, I've started using the A500 - Mini for the oldschool games. I've actually used it little too much... haha... with save-states, it makes it a bit easier to complete those hard games from back in the day, and yes... it makes those games more enjoyable as well.

Had it on order since i heard about it. I have c64 mini, and the nintendo mini's. Im old school uk amiga boy, i had a mix of purchased and unfortunately huge copied games collection. Not proud of it, but i was 14 at the time and now im nearly 50. I have since with a working wage, set about purchasing every game i owned as a kid now i can afford it. I cannot wait for this and will be purchasing every and any games that the pubishers release. I have done with my nintendo switch and have an enormous paid arcade archives collection and as many spectrum games like sabatour. I got gods, toki, turrican, etc, worms, superfrog, alien breed, monkey island on ios and android.offical stuff like vega and spectaculator. (everything i had as a kid i can get hold of). Lets hope more devs from the past bring out re releases for amiga.

Yeah, not for me but I like the thought behind it. Your A500 looks clean Dan! Thinking of retrobriting mine.

Did I detect a bit of an Adam and Joe homage in the form of 'sport ball'? lol Fantastic review, and fantastic video as ever.

After learning that Retro Games Ltd and Subvert Ltd are intrinsically linked, and subsequent treatment of a certain youtube retro channel no matter how passionately I feel about the Amiga this product can be shoved where the sun don't shine.
