Runway 180

Bring a jet down onto a moving runway stripe by managing speed and rate of descent, with the landing gear to lower at the right moment. Come in wrong and you stall or crash into debris and must make another approach. The article used the game to teach the eleven sprite commands of TI Extended BASIC, and it concluded that true arcade speed still needed machine language.

Controls: Left accelerates, right brakes, up and down set the sink rate; fire lowers the gear.
