Area Radar Controller is an air traffic control centre simulation where a player manages a busy air traffic zone with two airfields, nine runways and up to 69 aircraft. In a single-screen environment the player view a radar screen where number keys are used to direct the planes to make sure they do not collide and follow the correct lanes, and keep an eye on fuel to prioritize and make sure they have enough to complete the journey. In busy sections up to 24 planes can be on the screen at a single time.
