The Airport Hero line of games on the PC, Gameboy, Playstation, and PSP have sold a total of over 300,000 copies since 1998 while the cellphone version has been downloaded 150,000 times. It's been a successful series for Sonic Powered.As exemplified by the games, the life of an air traffic controller is a stressful one. Sitting at the control tower and holding the lives of thousands of passengers in his hands, the controller makes critical decisions which affect the direction, heading, and passage of planes. One mistake ruins lives and destroys entire families. Take on the role of a air traffic handler who manages the comings and goings for Naha airport in Okinawa, Japan. When a plane enters your airspace, your job is to direct it to a landing strip and make sure that it won't bump into an outbound plane. As more planes request landing instructions, the stress level rises as one has to figure out where to put all of the big metal birds.
New to the Naha version of Airport Hero is the introduction of U.S. military aircraft and Japan Air Self Defense Force vehicles in addition to passenger airliners that dot the skies. With so much air traffic in play, directives and assignments must be carefully thought out and planned to avoid collisions or dangerous situations. For new players to the series, a training mode teaches the basics of the game along with proper procedures.
