Randomised Gaming looks at the A500 Mini, the included games, WHDLoad functions and what the firmware adds and is it worth the asking price in this mini review. Our editor Random Gamer Riven jumps into this mini version of the Amiga and gives his verdict in this mini review.
It features 25 games, Alien Breed 3D, Alien Breed: Special Edition 92, Another World, Arcade Pool, ATR: All Terrain Racing, Battle Chess, Cadaver, California Games, Dragon’s Breath, F-16 Combat Pilot, Kick Off 2, Paradroid 90, Pinball Dreams, Project-X: Special Edition 93, Qwak, Simon the Sorcerer, Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe, Stunt Car Racer, Super Cars II, The Chaos Engine, The Lost Patrol, The Sentinel, Titus the Fox, Worms: The Director’s Cut & Zool. There is a 26th bonus download game, which is the Citadel and it's available from retro games official website.
At a price of between £90-£120 it's not a small investment, so the question is this worth the price?
