# Air Traffic Controller 3

Air Traffic Controller 3 (ぼくは航空管制官 三つ, Boku wa Kūkō Kanseikan San, also known as "ATC3", "My Tube" or simply by the airport featured (e.g. ATC3 RJAAN) is a Japanese simulation puzzle game released by TechnoBrain from 2008 to 2012. The game has many editions that were released during that time including some that feature special events or airports like the former Kai Tak International Airport in Hong Kong or Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa. It is the third version of the Air Traffic Controller series of simulations.

## Gameplay

The objective of each level is the reach a required number of points to pass while avoiding many of the dangers of being an air traffic controller. There are many reasons that can cause a game over for the stage, including a near miss, head-ons during take-off or taxiing, or having enough points to pass the level. Players must also avoid making the stress level for aircraft go up, which results in a game over if it reaches 100%. Players must also direct aircraft on to the runway direction facing into the wind, or else the aircraft will do an automatic go-around on the captain's decisions. In some games, players are able to control traffic from other airports.
A cutscene is at the end of every level, with a different version of the game's opening theme. The opening can be unlocked by passing at least one level while the ending requires the player to complete the last default stage.
