This Australian-made game is a reminder that cassette tapes could also store games as well as music.
The game is Sydney Approach, a real-time graphics-based Air Traffic controller simulation. You need to direct incoming aircraft to ground control at Sydney International Airport and hand over outgoing aircraft to the next controller without causing accidents.
The game was made for Microbee home computers, which were made and sold in Australia during the 1980s. Microbees were the first computers to make significant inroads into Australian schools after the company won a New South Wales Department of Education computer tender.
