I played on something which I think was TRACON (SoCal?) in the mid '90s. I recall we had no speakers on the PC I was using but every time someone 'spoke' it wouldn't accept a heading or level change until they finished, hence all departures ended up being held on the ground whilst I tried to get traffic on the multiple ILS' .
A better one was 'Heathrow' designed for the 'original' 48k Sinclair Spectrum in the early 80s; the software was written by Mike Male who was a Heathrow controller at the time (HD will remember him)
It must have been successful because he made enough money to buy himself a TB9 G-BIAB, but he didn't get to fly it much as Talkdownman tended to hog it.
