Correct me if I am wrong, but It is simply a emulator and the keyboard is not funtional. With that in mind, I see no advantage over emulation you can run on just about anything. I have a few A-2000 and A-500 computers in my basement so I have had a real good understanding what they were like. Shoot I have a C-64 down there too.

I've had this in my cart for quite awhile. When I saw the price drop, I bought it immediately and rushed here to post, but you beat me to it!

Lowest price I've seen on this one. Not official brand like other minis, but still cool.

I believe a disk was 880kB, so we're definitely talking MEGABytes here: get into the 90's man!

I didn't know about this thing, sounds like you can play more games off USB WHDLoad: need to investigate, probably available through torrent.

it's a functional toy. Not everyone has the space, the bread, and the patience to deal with the real thing, so this is a cute little thing to have on a shelf.
I got one as a present and was at first annoyed that money was spent on itโ€” ESPECIALLY after learning the keyboard doesn't work (despite the comedic size). It's actually decently made and has a few nice touches for display options.

That said, yeah it's still in the box.

Unfortunately I let my Amiga 500 go back in the day, despite many years of game playing, demo watching and coding in 68000 assembler. I really do not have much space for full sized additional gear. Last year I received an Amiga 500 mini for a Christmas present and was very pleasantly surprised. It's a nice tribute to, in my opinion, the greatest computer I ever owned.

I bought this for $90a few months ago, I strongly doubt the normal price is $130.
