Question Tracon simulator. Where to find it?

Hello fellow ATC!
Some year ago (I mean more than 10 years back), it happened to have a game or ATC simulator called Tracon, running on DOS base.
Now that I understand something about atc and after deleted it, I wonder how can I get for free this "game".
To it is the better yet seen.I remember to see the radar sweepping the scope, and there use to be a digital voice for redback.
If anyone knows about where or how can I get it, plz, leave a hint.
See ya' guys.

I don't know where you can get Tracon, but an area ATC simulator is available from www.xavius.com for the grand sum of $12.00 with sound or $0.00 without sound.

It's extremely addictive, at least to those of us who aren't ATCOs!

I used to have it but could never go for more than about 20 seconds without having a mid-air collision or something similar and never finished an exercise. Unless it's been seriously updated the London TMA version bears no resemblance whatsoever to the real thing.
