Amiga A1200 Revival Secures June 2026 Launch
THEA1200 pre-orders are live, bringing a full-size, working Amiga A1200 recreation with HDMI, authentic keyboard, 25 built-in classics and USB support, letting 90s home-computing fans relive the golden Amiga era in June 2026.
THEA1200 pre-orders have officially opened, bringing the beloved Amiga A1200 back to life with modern connectivity and 25 classic games.
Retro Games Limited's faithful recreation arrives in June 2026, offering nostalgic gamers the chance to rediscover 90s computing glory through HDMI connectivity and authentic keyboard design.
Remember floppy disks and the distinctive click of an Amiga keyboard? For those who lived through the golden era of home computing, the announcement that THEA1200 pre-orders are now live represents more than just another retro revival – it's a trip back to when gaming felt genuinely revolutionary. Retro Games Limited, the team behind other successful recreations like The Spectrum, has meticulously crafted this full-sized reproduction with working keyboard, mouse and controller ports, ensuring the authentic experience remains intact.
Some of the included games
Meanwhile, the inclusion of HDMI output means modern television compatibility comes as standard, eliminating the adapter headaches that often plague retro hardware enthusiasts. Furthermore, the console ships with the iconic Workbench Desktop OS pre-installed, allowing users to explore creative applications beyond gaming. Additionally, USB stick support enables players to upload their own classic titles, expanding the library beyond the 25 pre-loaded games.
The game selection itself reads like a who's who of Amiga classics: The Turrican Trilogy, Ruff 'n' Tumble, and Beneath a Steel Sky all feature prominently. However, the real headline grabber remains The Settlers II – a game whose port has been 30 years in the making, finally seeing proper release through this dedicated hardware. Consequently, for strategy game enthusiasts who remember the original's charming complexity, this alone might justify the investment.
Priced at £169.99 (approx. €189.99 / $189.99, based on current exchange rates; check local retailers for exact pricing), THEA1200 represents solid value compared to hunting down original hardware in working condition. Currently available for pre-order through Replai in Europe and UK, with more retailers expected to follow, this June 2026 release gives collectors plenty of time to clear shelf space. Ultimately, while modern gaming continues to push technological boundaries, there's something wonderfully comforting about returning to where it all began for so many British gamers.
