Kennedy Approach was fun, as you had to manage all take-offs, all inbound flights, plus through traffic, with occasional "May Day May Day" emergency landings, and thunderstorms ..... all in 3D space with DIGITIZED SPEECH on a C64 !!!!!!!!

You had to maintain vertical separation of aircraft and horizontal separation, plus all aircraft had to leave your screen at the proper handoff altitude, I think 4000 ft. You were promoted or fired, depending upon flight delays (inbound and outbound) and any serious conflicts .... OR CRASHES !

It was Microprose software.

I also had c64 Gunship .... I hated when the HIND chopper showed up! YIKES!

I did download one of the C64 emulators once, and did find the image for Kennedy Approach ....it was a little buggy but worked.
