SO GOOD
Now, I know that there are superior and more detailed variations of the air traffic controller thing on other platforms like the PC (and also on PS2 and PSP in Nipponese, think so), but for the moment this is my preferred digital crack. The tension of the Expert shifts, with the holding patterns filling up as you are juggling shit on the ground trying to get free gates in time, omg omg. Haneda on NOVICE is handing me my ass at the moment. Thank you Majesco for localizing this from moonspeak. Buy it

Quoted for the true.
The best damn system to grace an already awesome generation. I've stopped playing myself to get caught up on all the Wii goodness I've missed in the course of the two years I've missed, but as soon as I've completed my Wii hitlist, I'm back into the arms of one of the greatest systems of all time.

the only people that think the ds is "like the best thing ever" are children and gaffags

That must have been the longest 15 minutes of your life.

Because indulging in one spectrum of VIDEO GAMES while pissing on another is exactly how a grown man illustrates his growth and maturity. Face it, guy, cock size doesn't expand in proportion to the jump in the pixel resolution.
Bitch.

Relative to what the DS offered? Probably.

what i said was a statement not an opinion, "guy"

also i would be the first one to say i am nowhere near mature for my age and my dick isnt even that big, its just over 6 and a half inches :-*

oh no, my thread was Booger'd.

I remember back when Majesco used to sell import video games, before they started actually making them.
I bought Dragon Ball Z Hyper Dimension off of them. They were rip-off artists and delayed shipping the game to me like two months. I had to keep calling them to complain. This must've been back in '97 or '98.

Is this like Firemint's Flight Control game on the iPod Touch?

Well no, it's a bit more complicated. Looks like this:

On the top screen you have the airport display, with holding pattern above in green and approach lines in blue. Different airports have different configurations for runways and gates, so you'll have to use a specific strategy for each one. Also on the top screen is the windsock, stress gauge, score (with score remaining to clear stage underneath) and clock with the time of your shift highlighted in red.
On the bottom screen are your currently controlled aircraft "tags", arrival on the left and departure on the right. The commands you have to give them are divided into four ATC sections: Approach, Delivery, Ground and Tower. Each of these has a separate radio channel, and only one order can be issued at a time on these channels. This means you have to be alert to, for instance, if a new aircraft is about to enter the holding pattern and you might need to tell it to speed up or slow down so it doesn't end up in a mid-air collision. If you just told a plane in the holding pattern to keep its position or land on a designated runway, the Approach channel will be busy and you can't avoid the collision. Same thing goes for avoiding collisions on the taxiways on the ground. It's strategy, multitasking and stress management.

Yeah, pretty sure this is not a game I'd find relaxing. I barely deal with the tension in Flight Control with what might be called fun. This would kill me.

Hehe yeah, it's not a relaxing game, quite the contrary. Especially on Expert :hyper -> :o -> :(
