The A1200
Plug it in, switch it on, and step straight back into the era when games were bold, colorful, and full of character. The A1200 comes pre-loaded with 25 legendary titles, including Beneath A Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress, Ruff n Tumble, Defender of the Crown I & II, and the Turrican trilogy, plus many more. Every game looks and feels just as you remember, only now with HDMI output, save states, and USB sideloading for even more adventures. Following the global success of The A500 Mini, which sold over 100,000 units worldwide, Retro Games Ltd has once again captured the magic of a generation raised on floppy disks, pixel art, and late-night gaming marathons. This is The A1200, the machine that powered a decade of imagination, now rebuilt for the 21st century.
Each A1200 includes a working keyboard, classic-style mouse, and gamepad – everything you need to dive right back into the golden age of 16-bit gaming. "This was the machine that made the '90s come alive for a generation of players," said Paul Andrews, Managing Director at Retro Games Ltd. "With THE A1200, we're celebrating that incredible moment in time – the games, the design, and the creativity that shaped a generation."
