Air Traffic Chaos April 17, 2008 - by Ian Bogost Finally something to look forward to! Majesco announces Air Traffic Chaos for Nintendo DS! In Air Traffic Chaos, aspiring air traffic controllers use the touch screen to manage takeoffs, gate assignments, and landings for all incoming and outgoing airport traffic for 14 different airlines in varying weather conditions.
As someone obsessed with both air travel and mundane work experiences (having made games about both), this is a must-have. Sure, you can get ATC Simulator for Windows, and some may remember Kennedy Approach for Atari/Amiga/C64, but now we have an air traffic control game you can play while actually waiting to be air traffic controlled! Of course, you'll have to turn off all electronic devices for takeoff. And on Alitalia, as Jesper recently discovered, you'll never be able to turn it on at all. (thanks to Ben) POST A COMMENT
