Amega and Acorn? NES, Master System, etc made sort of come backs with retro stuff. Not so much Amega, and certainly not Acorn.

You probably didn't know about this as it didn't get the attention of the NES and such, but here is a remade Amiga PC. https://retrogames.biz/products/thea500-mini/

There's AmigaKit's A600GS, but that feels a bit less polished compared to the A500mini

No, I didn't know. Not something I expect to see in the middle aisle at Aldi. Pretty sure I've seen cheap retro consoles as stocking fillers!

I have certainly have seen some cheap knockoff retro consoles at Aldi in their random seasonal aisle, but I've never seen any of the proper, branded retro remakes like this, the C64, or the NES/SNES/etc consoles.

I've seen very cheap MegaDrives clones, with real Sega games, somewhere. Maybe it wasn't Aldi.
