I'm trying to remember the name of this game I used to play in the arcades a while ago. It was back in the early/mid 90's when I played it. Was a commercial jet simulator with a sitdown cabinet.

First level was simple, you start out flying and you gotta land the plane. Next level was a little more tricky. You start out in the air like the last level but now it's nighttime and raining. I think the third level lets you take off from a runway but I'm not positive.

Anyone know the name of this game? I think it was made by either Namco or Data East but I'm not too certain about that.

played it at dave and buster's once

the whole point was to fly through a path of "rectangles" right?

I believe sega made it

but if it was early/mid nineties could it be "jet riders"

If it had 3 monitors, then the game you are referring to is Airline Pilots. Our Dave & Buster's has this game, and I suck at it!

Thanks for the replies, guys. I think it was Top Landing but I can't find any more pics to tell for sure. Couldn't have been Airline Pilot 'cause that came out in 1999 and the one I played only had one monitor.

here's another picture of Top Landing:

That's the same picture (from the KLOV entry) as is on the page that ghsqb linked to.

By the way, norkusa, I believe the game you're looking for is Landing Gear (http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=&game_id=8378). ;)
