Love 8 & 16 bit micro’s, then welcome home!
At RetroB8 I stick to what I know, my passion for all 8 & 16 bit micro's and a few consoles.
Based on an isolated farm in Teesdale, I try to give you a varied view of the 8 and 16 bit micros, Commodore, Spectrum, and Amstrad, Amiga 1200 & CD32
Next is the console era with the Master System, NES and lesser known C64GS and GX4000.

Next chronologically are the MegaDrive/Genesis and the SNES, then of course the N64 and Saturn followed lastly by the Dreamcast and GameCube.
I also enjoy handheld systems, these include but are not limited to the Gameboy (various revisions) Atari Lynx and GameGear.

Future videos will include-
C64 Top 10’s
Amiga Top 10’s
PS1 Top 10’s
Retro Quest Live streams, a monthly 8&16 bit micro related magazine style stream with OSG and guest.
Spectrum NEXT/N-GO
Modern gaming via the PS5 and Nintendo Switch
Probably some red wine 🍷

Will you be pre ordering THE A1200?

FULL-SIZE. FULL KEYBOARD. FULL NOSTALGIA.

The iconic 90s home computer returns reimagined for the players of today

The wait is over.

From the creators of THEA500 Mini comes THE A1200, a full-sized recreation of one of the most iconic home computers of the early 1990s, now reborn for the modern era.

Developed in conjunction with PLAION REPLAI, one of the world’s premier producers of retro hardware and software, THE A1200 combines meticulous authenticity with modern innovation, offering the definitive revival of a true 90s legend.

Following the global success of THEA500 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.

Back to the 90s, and beyond.

Plug it in, switch it on, and step straight back into the era when games were bold, colourful, and full of character.

THE A1200 comes pre-loaded with 25 legendary titles, including Beneath A Steel Sky, Settlers II, 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.

The ultimate 90s setup.

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.”

Release details:

• Launch Date: 16th June 2026
• SRP: £149.99 / €189.99 / $189.99 / AU$299.99
• Includes: Full-size computer, Mouse, Gamepad
• Retail Listings: 10th November 2025
