How to play Air Traffic Chaos on Mac

Game summary

Air Traffic Chaos is an air traffic controller simulation video game developed and published by Majesco Games for the Nintendo DS handheld video game console. It has previously been released in Japan under the name ぼくは航空管制官 (I Am An Air Traffic Controller), and later in Europe under the title Air Traffic Controller by DS. A video game demo was made available before its release for the Wii's Nintendo Channel. Air Traffic Chaos involves the player taking control of an airport control tower for a period. During this period the player needs to achieve a certain score based on orders given to planes and safe take offs and landings. The game has a total of 15 challenges.[1] The airports in Air Traffic Chaos are all 5 international and domestic Japanese airports. They are: Fukuoka Airport Kansai International Airport Chubu Centrair International Airport Tokyo International Airport New Chitose Airport [1] These each have 3 stages ranging from easy, medium and expert difficulty. Each stage increases in difficulty and brings with it a longer shift with more aircraft to safely land and depart. There is no multiplayer gaming but the player can share his/her results and badges records with up to 7 other players through the ATC Library.
First released: Feb 2007

Play Air Traffic Chaos on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Air Traffic Chaos on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
