Title: A500 Mini
Post by: phinix on Fri, 26 September 2025, 19:08:58

Is it worth getting A500 Mini?
I never had Amiga, but always wanted one.

I don't think it's worth anywhere near the asking price. If it was that price with a functional keyboard then maybe. If you could pick one up for half price then it would be worth it IMO.
You can emulate Amiga games really easily on PC, Raspberry Pi, Steam Deck etc. You can get the mouse and more authentic controllers separately.

I'd say yes if you like old games. It's a fun little system, especially if you never got to own an Amiga back then.
