Not so long ago, we delivered the unwelcome news that Retro Games Ltd's THE A1200 would be delayed, but today we're giving you something positive about the machine – a short hands-on demonstration.

In the footage, a prototype of THE A1200 is shown playing Turrican and Defender of the Crown II. The footage also shows the system's UI, which is very similar to that seen on Retro Games Ltd's previous micro-consoles.

"A new prototype of THEA1200 arrived this morning, so we thought we'd put together a quick video to show some of the progress we've been making," says the message, which was posted on Facebook. "Please forgive the noughties production values, but we know many of you have been eager for an update and we didn't want to keep you waiting."
