Mini consoles are a great way to access retro games without having to go through the hassle of using emulators. Their “plug and play” mentality has made them increasingly popular–though they sometimes can carry somewhat high prices. But if you’re looking to play dozens of nostalgic retro PC games, you’ll now find the gorgeous The A500 Mini for just $90 at Amazon, down from its usual $130.
The A500 Mini
$90 (was $130)
The A500 Mini is a love letter to the 16-bit computing era of the 1980s. Capable of outputting video at 720p, offering three USB ports, and giving you the ability to save your progress for each game, this is arguably one of the best ways to experience these retro icons in 2023.
Best of all, you can sideload your own games and programs onto the device using a USB. But if you just want to plug the device into a screen and start playing, you’ll have access to these 25 titles:

Along with the mini console, the A500 Mini includes the original 2-button mouse and a new 8-button gamepad–which will come in handy for some of the more complex titles in its catalog.
Depending on your location, you might be eligible for same-day shipping from Amazon. And, as you’d expect, the product comes with a 30-day return policy.
The A500 Mini hasn’t gone on sale too often over the past year, and this is the best price we’ve seen in 2023. If you have any interest in classic PC gaming, consider checking out the mini console while it’s available at this new low price.
