The briefing
Kennedy Approach puts the player in the role of a Terminal Radar Approach Control operator responsible for safely managing arriving and departing aircraft.
Players assign routes, altitudes, and landing or takeoff clearances while keeping aircraft separated. Incoming flights may enter holding patterns until they receive permission to land, and holding instructions can be issued over a VOR tower. Aircraft have preset destinations or exit points, and they will not change course or altitude without the controller's orders.
The workload increases at higher GS levels, with more simultaneous flights to coordinate. Storms create impassable areas, while aircraft with limited fuel require rapid handling. Mistakes can result in collisions, incorrect exits or altitudes, delays, or crashes.
Released in 1984, the game was developed and published by MicroProse for Amiga, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, Commodore C64/128/MAX, and PC (Microsoft Windows).
