While we are on the subject of IBM games we want to see in Amiga...

TRACON II is an outstanding game, I spent most of the holidays
playing. It is a simulation of Air Traffic Control, and I find it
quite intense. The S/W house that did this is called WESSON and I have
not heard if they will farm the game out to an Amiga firm or do it themselves.

I have a hunch however that we may be out of luck, for this game is, 
according to the manual, an afterthought as a result of a serious ATC simulator
done for the FAA and the military by WESSON, which is probably where their  
main efforts lie.

If this came out for the Amiga I would buy it right away. WESSON has done
a superb effort to simulate the ATC environment. You have many options to
increase the variety of play. An excellent manual is included that is very 
informative. It is difficult to describe the intensity of play but it is 
a very insense mental excercise, if you give yourself enough traffic to 
control. If this game were to ported to the Amiga I would like to make a
couple of suggestions for improvement however they are minor. 

If anyone has heard about an Amiga version for this games give me a shout.

Bill
