We're Getting A Full-Size Amiga 'Console' In 2024

“Full sized” Amiga? Could that be an A4000? Or an A1200? Unlikely to be a CD32, given how poorly it sold, so recognition is likely to be low (although I had one).

Could it be something new, akin to an Evercade VS, just focussing on Amiga?

Will certainly keep an interested eye on this !

@michaelf I'm guessing it will be like the two versions of the C64. As in essentially the same as the Amiga 500 Mini but in a full size box with a functioning keyboard.

@michaelf I would imagine it will simply be based on the design of the A500 seeing as it is the most recognisable model but still have all the ability to emulate those more powerful systems like the mini does.

I am definitely more interested in picking one up as having the keyboard makes it so much more of an authentic experience much like the C64 version.

@BionicDodo , @Zenszulu cheers. I’d be really interested in a machine with a working keyboard, creating a much more authentic experience. Even if it was “just” modelled on an A500.

Since this will be an emulation device, I hope there's enough head room on the maxi to emulate a turbo board too. I wonder if it's intent will still be mostly a game machine like the mini. You can get workbench et all on the mini, but I'd like the maxi to be more of a traditional experience.

"First released in 1985, the Amiga family of computers sold 4.85 million units worldwide."

that's IT?! the legendary amiga sold shy of 5 million worldwide.😳

Gamecube sold over 4 times that, with one model, in a shorter timespan, yet it feels as though that entire library (at least that i care about) is lost to time and obscurity forever 😐

that being said ive always wanted to get my hands on an amiga! ✌️

Looking forward to getting one of these, if the internals is the same as the Mini I'll gouge it and put my MiSTer in there instead...

Of course, if they want to sell a version without the main board I'd be interested.
