The few remaining Mattel Electronics led games, not yet emulated, are mentioned in detail on other
posts in this forum thread.

Bandai TC7 is what I vaguely recall being mentioned by a former coworker while working
a temporary job in mid 1990s.

The temporary coworker recalled the game name, but did not remember which
company made the TC7 game. Iirc a different coworker had brought in a PSX disc
and explained that the disc ran some classic Namco arcade titles on the PlayStation.

That reminded the coworker about his TC7 game and how he wishes it were possible to play that
again. This was just about time that community emulation was just getting started.

The coworker retells how he bought the TC7 product in early 1980s to self train to be an
airplane traffic controller in order to become one by late 1980s in which he did and briefly worked at a
small airport in a Midwest town for a couple years.

Before he bought a computer and some simulator programs for the computer, the TC7 product was
first training equipment. He was laughing while mentioning his girlfriend at the time was embarrassed about
him using the TC7 item while practicing to be a controller. She refused to be around him whenever he was
practicing with the item in their apartment.

They eventually separated and she broke some of his belongings including the TC7 product.
The guy was glad he got some of his other stuff out of there such as his computers and Mattel Intellivision and
other belongings. He mentioned that the TC7 product was partly useful for traffic control practice, but he missed it for the novelty factor. If MAME as it is today were around then, he would be first person to come to mind that
would be thankful that Bandai TC7 is emulated in MAME
