A new retro games console has been launched via Kickstarter this week created by the team at ARES Computers based in Duisburg, Germany. Designed to offer a “true console” experience with access to thousands of games from the past, present and future, the console is powered by a spiritual successor to Commodore Amiga OS. watch the video below to more about the retro games console and its features.
Pledges are available from €99 for the IndieGo XS Barebone, while the IndieGo XS is priced at €199 and the IndieGo Classic retro games console is available from €299. Its creators explain a little more about the retro console and its construction.
“Unlike other “Retro-console campaigns” we will not just put a Raspberry Pi with a Retropie like distro on it.. Well… to be honest you can install it still if you like.. side by side or on top of our solution ; ) And to be even more honest you will get a dual boot to enable you both worlds.. Our system is called indieGO!-OS and is based on EmulationStation, Kodi, AEROS, AMC, indieGO!-Marketplace and EmuLA. AEROS itself is based on Debian linux and indieGO!-OS is again a fork of AEROS aimed for gaming and emulation purposes. The indieGO! allows to choose between indieGO!-OS, AEROS and Android – Just reboot into a indie-Console, a Android console or a Mini PC.”
