The Sewerside FPV & Retro Tech channel finally reveals an exciting new arrival: an Amiga 1200 custom build from RetroPassion LTD in the UK. After nearly two months of waiting, the host shares the full unboxing experience, complete with honest impressions, a few surprises, and a healthy dose of Amiga enthusiasm.
The video begins with the long-awaited delivery, arriving just two days after shipping from the UK to New York City. With no fancy studio setup—just a desk crowded by FPV drone gear—the host opens the box with eager anticipation. The packaging earns praise for its care, while the system itself reveals a slightly yellowed case that prompts a few mixed feelings. Still, the excitement is clear as the Amiga 1200 emerges, ready for its first power-up.
When powered on, the Amiga 1200 custom build runs flawlessly. Inside is a Terrible Fire 1232 accelerator clocked at 50 MHz with a Motorola 68030 CPU and FPU, 128 MB of RAM, a 32 GB SD card, and Kickstart 3.1 ROMs. The system includes a two-button ball mouse, compact flash adapter, and a U.S.-compatible power supply. After verifying the hardware in SysInfo, the machine proves to be faster than expected—clocking at 51.8 MHz.
Once the technical details are out of the way, the fun begins. The host tests classic AGA titles like Zool and Super Xevious 1200, marveling at the speed and vivid graphics compared to his Amiga 500 setup. Everything works as it should: floppy drive, CompactFlash, sound, and joystick. Even the tracker music player brings back strong 1990s vibes.
The video ends on a satisfied note. Despite a slightly aged keyboard color, the performance and craftsmanship from RetroPassion LTD earn high marks. For Amiga fans, this unboxing captures the excitement of bringing a powerful retro system back to life.
