"Are You Having A Laugh?" - Commodore Is Reviving An Iconic Joystick, But There's An Unfortunate Catch

High shipping costs are putting a damper on the new product launch. Commodore International — the 'revived' version of the famous home computer and electronics manufacturer, now headed up by Christian Simpson — has revealed its next product: a modern recreation of the TAC-2 joystick . The TAC-2 was a joystick originally released in the '80s by Suncom, compatible with a range of machines (including the Commodore 64, Atari computers, and the Commodore Amiga), and was known for being much sturdier than many of the other alternatives available on the market at the time.

Spaceship bullet heaven Seven Suns of Orion has what Vampire Survivors lacks: semi-Newtonian physics and railguns

Spaceship bullet heaven Seven Suns of Orion has what Vampire Survivors lacks: semi-Newtonian physics and railguns

I don't truly want to say a bad word about Vampire Survivors . I've adored the many hours I've spent in its endearingly slapdash dungeons. It's also responsible for spawning a thousand imitators, many of which I have also poured hours of my life into playing. But, for all of its joys and successes, I can't defend its lack of railguns. I don't know what Poncle were thinking when they let you loose on a world filled with monsters and ghouls and didn't arm you with an electromagnetic gun that launches projectiles at more than 3 km/s. It may not be a stake doused in holy water, but I reckon the railgun in Seven Suns Of Orion would do just as good of a job against Dracula. Read more
