A500 Mini release

(Up to Releases (first generation))

The A500 Mini, a device modeled to resemble a miniature Commodore Amiga A500, came out in Europe on 8 April 2022, and in the US on 31 May 2022. The system comes preinstalled with 25 Amiga titles, 7 of which are Team17 games, including Worms: The Director's Cut.

• The A500 Mini comes preloaded with v1.0 of the game, and features all of the bugs and exploits present in that version of the game.
• The game loads immediately from a save state placing it directly at the Main Menu.
• As with many games included on the A500 Mini, the game features controller support that does not require you to select the CD32 as the controller in the menu.
• The A500 Mini does not come with a functioning keyboard - if you do not plug in a USB keyboard, entering the cheat codes must be done using the system's on-screen keyboard.

Trivia

• WormsDC cannot actually be played on an actual A500, as the game requires the AGA chipset only found in the A1200, A4000, A4000T, and CD32.
• The A500 Mini was "the fastest-selling Home Computer Remake (based on week 1 sales) and [as of 21 April 2022] already the No.2 all-time seller" according to GamesIndustry.biz [1]. The same article placed the A500 Mini as the sixth-highest selling Retro, Micro and TV console based on week 1 sales.
  • This likely means the A500 Mini has vastly outsold the original Amiga release of Worms: The Director's Cut by some magnitude.
