The new Amiga is coming in 2026 but you can pre-order it now

Amiga? If you’re now wondering whether you’ve missed something: obviously. The older ones among you may still know the legendary Amiga from Commodore. After the legendary Commodore C64, the company needed a port banger – C116, C16 and plus4 don’t count, it needs a home computer with more power.

Anyone who switched from the C64 to an Amiga was initially spellbound by the graphics capabilities. Things look even better with the A1200’s AGA graphics.

The Amiga 500 was exactly this home computer that became a cult computer, especially in Germany. Commodore had a bit of a hard time with successors to the famous computer girlfriend (Amiga is Spanish for girlfriend) – that would be Amiga 1200 with its 32 bit processor 68EC020 and the improved AGA graphics released a little early, who knows…

In 1992, when the Amiga 1200 was released, many people had little reason to buy an Amiga 1200; gaming was sometimes better with a 386 or 486 at the time. In 2026, however, you will have a new chance to make up for this missing experience!

The A1200: An Amiga 1200 with USB, HDMI and 25 integrated games

The new edition of the Amiga 1200 from Retro Games is called The A1200 or THEA1200, which means our new friend probably already has a strange name: Thea, welcome. And The A1200 hasn’t even shrunk: the device actually appears in its original size.

Instead of a Motorola processor, there is of course an emulation under the nostalgic, true-to-original housing. A case with a functional keyboard, we might add – the A500 Mini only had a dummy to offer.

The previous model, The A500, came without a functioning keyboard. With The A1200 you no longer have to do without it. Mouse and gamepad are still included.

USB for connecting the included peripherals in the form of a mouse and gamepad is of course available thanks to the modern substructure. If the number of ports is not enough for you: USB hubs are supported.

Instead of antiquated analog outputs for video output, The A1200 uses HDMI in a modern waythe resolution of 720p shown seems out of date but reminds you of the resolution the original used.

The highlight of such a retro replica console is of course the integrated games. 25 of these are included with the purchase and there are some top games included.

Next summer feels like the 1990s, thanks The A1200!

Turrican, The Settlers 2, Defender of the Crown are included

The Turrican games, for example, still work excellently today (and certainly in the summer of 2026) thanks to their great playability and impressive technology for the time. And the soundtrack is beyond any doubt anyway.

Turrican is the classic shoot’em’up for the Amiga but also for the C64. Great graphics, great playability and really great music!

Defender of the Crown However, it primarily scores with the graphics – but that’s all the more impressive. Do you prefer watching pixel figures scurry around? The Settlers II (known here as The Settlers 2) is also included.

There are also hours of adventure puzzles Lure of the Temptress and Beneath The Steel Sky. Not all 25 pre-installed titles are known yet.

If all of this doesn’t make you happy because you like this niche game that only a handful of Amiga fans know, then you can You can also easily add games using a USB stick. But remember when downloading that you have to own the original game in order for it to remain legal.

If you have previously started occasional Amiga excursions with the PC and an emulator: The A1200 comes with the Workbench, as a legal version and not as a pirated copy. Practical!
