Yes, Commodore sold an official set of paddles. In fact, when I wrote the Bally Midway Gorf conversion for the C64, I coded my hidden title page to appear when you rotate both paddles fully clock-wise (as I recall) while viewing the opening title screen. Gorf is a joystick game ;-)

I was co-writer of both the VIC-20 and C64 ports of Omega Race. And funny, while the C64 has more all-around horsepower (graphics and otherwise) I think the VIC-20 version (on which Andy Finkel was by far the lead programmer) ranks as the better of the two.

BTW, both have hidden title pages (easter eggs) but I've long since forgotten how to bring them up.
