Similar to the C64 Mini - which Retro Games Ltd also produced - this is a reimagining of the 16-bit Commodore personal computer, touting emulation of the original A500 chipset and the Advanced Graphics Architecture (AGA) of later Amiga model the A1200.

As with the C64 Mini, Retro Games Ltd is working with Koch Media to distribute the system for a price of £119.99, €129.99 or $139.99.
