Following the runaway success of last year's Commodore 64 Ultimate, Commodore International has announced it is bringing the TAC-2 joystick, also known as the "Totally Accurate Controller," back into production more than 40 years after its debut. Pre-orders begin today at commodore.net.
Originally released in 1983 by Suncom Technologies (whose "We Help Make Computers Friendly" motto complemented Commodore's own "Welcome to the World of Friendly Computing" quite well), the TAC-2 was renowned for its durable, microswitch-free design alongside its arcade-accurate ball-top handle and gloriously clicky dual fire buttons, and remains highly in demand to this day. Due to its scarcity, re-sales of a fully-functional TAC-2 can fetch upwards of $100 or more. To make the TAC-2 more accessible while furthering Commodore's mission to preserve home computing history, and building the company on its two strong "retro" and "futurism" pillars, the company is officially bringing this controller king back to the front lines and into its ecosystem. today Commodore has begun production on a faithful new recreation of the TAC-2, that will retail for half the price of a well-preserved original.
