Oldie but Goody game program

Recommended Posts

This was an Air Traffic Control simulation game, originally released in 1986 for the C64, Atari 800XL, and the Amiga. It was never ported to either MS-DOS nor Windows. Until now.

 

The author wrote this for XP from scratch. Although the original game had simple graphics, it was a programming milestone at the time, as 8-bit machines mimicked a human voice (100% tonal accuracy) and radio static, and the Atari version utilized 16-bit sound programming.

 

You start off as a GS trainee at one of the various airports around the nation. You can experience obstacles such as mountains, thunderstorms, aircraft conflicts, and even crashes. You handle takeoffs, landings, and fly-throughs. Your altitude block is from 0-5,000 feet. The XP version has game save and replay capability.
