The Amiga 2Go is a portable gaming system produced by Commodore. It was released in 199X in Europe and North America.
Description[]
The Amiga 2Go is a handheld gaming console based on the hardware specifications of the Amiga 500+ computer, using the Enhanced Chip Set (ECS) first seen in the Amiga 3000. It also features 500KB base memory (1MB and 2MB for later models), which can be expanded using modules that can be added through a memory expansion bay on the back of the system. As with any Amiga using the ECS, the Amiga 2Go uses a 68000-based CPU running in the 7MHz range (7.16MHz for NTSC, and 7.09MHz for PAL).
It also has a backlit, full-color screen with adjustable brightness. Combined with the ECS, the graphical capabilities would be superior to even the Atari Lynx.
It also runs on six AA-sized batteries, but the system can be equipped with a separately sold rechargeable battery pack.
The system features two speakers with stereo sound, along with a headphone jack, a volume control dial and the same sound hardware as the Amiga 500+. The system also has the same set of controls as the CD32; a D-pad with four fire buttons (red, green, yellow, and blue), two shoulder buttons, and a start/pause button. Unlike the CD32 controller, the Amiga 2Go's D-pad is redesigned with improved usability, for better accuracy and response. In addition, there is also a select button.
The Amiga 2Go also features two expansion ports for other peripherals, such as a cable that allows the user to use the Amiga 2Go as a CD32 controller, a link cable for multiplayer games, etc.
Each Amiga 2Go game is stored on a proprietary 2.5 inch floppy disk, designed to have the same capacity as the 3.5 inch floppy as used by any ECS-based Amiga computer system, and with portability in mind. Amiga 2Go game floppies also come in specially-sized plastic jewel cases, also including an instructional manual and a safety guide.
