Air Traffic Controller calls itself a simulation, but it's really more of a puzzle game than an accurate simulator of what it's like to sit in the tower of a major airport. As niche as this title is, it's actually not the first of its kind. If you've been playing games for awhile, you've probably run into games like AeroBiz or even the more recent Airport Tycoon . Air Traffic Controller is actually a fairly simple puzzle game. You take control of an airport tower and tell incoming planes where and when to land and where and when to take off again.
Controls are simple.
In order to pass a level, you have to beat a preset score. You are awarded points for each command you issue. If the planes land and take off on time, you get more points. If it's full, it's game over. To guide an airplane from its initial appearance on screen all the way to the gate, you need to first tell it where to land.
