The player assumes the role of a controller in a Terminal Radar Approach Control, giving instructions to aircraft so that they can safely land, as well as take off and enter their correct flight corridors. The purpose of the game is to manage the flights that are presented to the player without the flights being delayed or exiting/landing in the wrong location. The aircraft either come flying in on the screen and have preset exit or landing points or show up as wanting to take off with an exit point. It is the player's job to determine the route each aircraft flies and when they may land or take off.
The aircraft cannot be too close to each other, so the player needs to make sure that they are passing each other on different flight levels or with sufficient distance (three grid dots north/south or east/west) between them. When an aircraft is in danger of crashing or is exiting at the wrong location or altitude, the aircraft will inform the air traffic controller. Aircraft do not change...
ah... the good old days... This is even better! You got more maps to work with!
In my opionion the best ATC sim ever after Tracon 2.
If you played this, on old Commodre computer, 64 or Amiga. Then you should play this version. improve and with more options.
Getting all 52 achievements was fun though HK Prime Time was very tough. Saved a GS17 level and would load it back until I could get it. In the old PC version you could load such a game and play any map on Prime Time. The old Atari or Commodore colors are cool to pick from, though playing Chicago with Atari colors is nearly impossible with a quarter...
Everything I remember from the Commodore 64 version and more!
Controllable with both keyboard and mouse. Graphics and sound seem identical to the C-64 version.
Additionally there are new cities that weren't in the original version, the anticipated path of the planes are highlighted for you before you issue the instructions, and a little key shows up...
Short play, simple yet challenging and addictive. Played on original C64 35 years ago and still a great way to spend an hour or two.
