Here at Retro News, we’ve been following the progress of Retro Games Ltd.’s THEA1200, a full-sized recreation of Commodore’s 32-bit Amiga 1200 home computer, ever since it was just a rumored device supposedly going by the name of “The A1200 Maxi,” Well, the name turned out to be wrong, but the device was proven to be real when it was previewed at Gamescom earlier this year, as we previously reported.
And now, we have some concrete facts about THEA1200, from Retro Games Ltd. themselves, who will be releasing THEA1200 in conjunction with PLAION REPLAI.
The features of THEA1200 have been confirmed as : “a full-size working keyboard; 25 games with four save-slots per game; the ability to load additional games via USB stick; integrated Workbench desktop; HDMI; a classic mouse; and a game controller.”
“Following the global success of THEA500 Mini, which sold over 100,000 units worldwide, Retro Games Ltd has once again captured the magic of a generation raised on floppy disks, pixel art, and late-night gaming marathons. This is THE A1200, the machine that powered a decade of imagination, now rebuilt for the 21st century.”
The 25 games included on THEA1200 will include, amongst others: Beneath A Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress, Ruff n Tumble, Defender of the Crown I & II, and the Turrican trilogy.
“This was the machine that made the 90s come alive for a generation of players,” said Paul Andrews, Managing Director at Retro Games Ltd., adding that “with THE A1200, we’re celebrating that incredible moment in time – the games, the design, and the creativity that shaped a generation.”
THEA1200 is set for release on June 16th, 2026, priced at £149.99, with pre-orders opening on November 10th, 2025.
