SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

From the guys that brought you The64 and Amiga Mini, a full sized Amiga will be coming in 2024.

An Amiga 500 wow, i dought they will bring out its rival the ST

Looking at the unamed systems it might figure there.

Hope they model it on the A1200. The original A500 was a bulky beast. 

Not sure what the retro console is going to be though. They're doing a mini and a full size. Can't be a VCS, as I think someone else is doing that. Most of the others have been covered already, though, surely?

As much as I'd love a full size A1200 I think in this case an A600 would work better as it has a smaller footprint to keep on your desk rather than be the main feature on the desk.

Either way, I hope they maintain 3.5 disk support as the originals, unlike the the C64 maxi. I never owned an Amiga, (though I wanted to, I bought an IBM clone instead, thinking that I would buy an Amiga later, but Commodore went bankrupt before I could buy one.) so I do not remember if it had a cartridge port, but if it did, they should keep that as well.

BTW Steve,

Where did you get your info from?

Retro Games has a page on Facebook.

Owned an A600 back in the day, May have to keep an eye on this.

Nothing wrong with the machine being an A600 size, but you're sacrificing number pad use, if so. Assuming how much you're going to use it, that may be an issue.

An A600 case would be .

I Seem to remember someone fitting an A1200 in an A600 it meant chopping the Motherboard and a lot of soldering!

Would be a nice project.

It had a CPU Accelerator and more Memory with SD card working. But just cant find anything on it!?

I have several dead A1200's and A600's Lying around. 

Keeping the Floppy disc working with the added SD card slot would be nice and a "BLACK" version would be cool as well

I think an A600 slimline case would be nice.

I hope the A600 case happens. If you've followed the ZX Spectrum Next and bought the board and the Accelerated! You'll be very disappointed!

I hope the A600 idea catches on. I hope it's going to be very different

They've got to provide a nice environment where we can retro code on it.

Now where is the backers site for this!?

With a C64 and Vic20 emulator thrown in as well.

Kind Regards Baggey

I had an A600 growing up... it was a great little machine... but I so missed the numpad, I had to learn to play some of the games a bit different using the top row numbers.

Somebody has shared the video that is also on FB.
