1980s Bandai Air Traffic Control Electronic Game?

Hi,

I'm trying to find an old electronic game I had as a kid in the 1980s.

It was called Air Traffic Control by Bandai and was a stand alone table top box with a black and white screen and buttons

If anyone knows of one for sale, please let me know!

Many thanks,

K77.

Hi,

I've just found this page on the web- I think this is what you were looking for!

Air Traffic Control

Looks pretty cool and retro 80's for sure- I might try and get hold of one myself!

Cheers,
CWings.

Heathrow Air Traffic Control ZX Spectrum

OR..............

Who remembers HEATHROW AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL for the ZX SPECTRUM then, complete with ITS 4 STACKS!! Now here's a retro classic from 1985! Click on the link below to play it:

Emulador de ZX Spectrum. Miles de juegos del spectrum recopilados.

P.s Press Spacebar on the intro screen to enter the Menu.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you cant get this to work, try HEATHROW RADAR (its predecessor I assume) also for the ZX Spectrum by M.Male:

I don't remember that one, but I do remember the one I had in the late 70's/80's that was Air Traffic Control the board game. I recall it involved a flight across the atlantic, progressing the flight by roll of the dice. The little aeroplane model was attached to different lengths of plastic stick depending on the phase of flight - climb/en-route etc.

Anyone remember this one?

Somewhere in the death trap of a spare room come garage come loft come dumping ground (how I hate new flats and the lack of storage) I have a floppy disc with TRACON America on it and another that has the London TMA. Never had any instructions though so couldn't do that much with it!!!! Was fun for about a week........

Does anybody browsing on this forum own a copy of 'London Control' by DM Aviation? It is a scarily realistic sim (and less laborious than VATSIM).

Actually Mode-S (or DABS/ADSEL as it was called then) is actually 70s technology!
