Yes there is:

The one currently in existance is Microprose's KENNEDY APPROACH.  Those
who used to own C 64's and C 128's may remember it.  As a game goes, it
is entertaining, but as an ATC simulator it is a bust.  Your vectoring
choices are limited, the simulator does not recognize such tried and truee
ATC procedures as anticipating seperation, airspeed reduction, and circles
for spacing, and the phraseology is so bad that they must have TRIED to get
it wrong.

There is good news, though.  I have heard that TRACON II for the AMIGA`
may be out as early as Christmas.  TRACON, just in case no one knows, is the
absolute BEST ATC simulator you'll find outside of the ATC Academy at
Oklahoma City.

If I were you, I'd wait until TRACON comes out.  Believe me, it will be worth
the wait.
