Tomcat Alley

Released1994
Tomcat Alley is one of the last of Sega's TruVideo games for the SegaCD, featuring you and your F-14 Tomcat doing what you do best - dogfighting Russian Migs! This time, a renegade Soviet commander is threatening the United States with chemical weapons from his base in the Mexican desert, and its up to you and your wingmen to fine-tune your air-to-air combat strategies to make the entire western hemisphere safe again! Tomcat Alley was one of Sega's last TruVideo games, featuring what is called "Active Matrix" software, which allows for many different outcomes to any given situation. This means only one thing - much more interaction and variation than previous FMV (Full Motion Video) games!

About This Game

Taking the role of a United States Navy pilot, the player is tasked with restoring peace and stability to a world destabilized by the cash-strapped former Soviet Union selling off military equipment to an unfriendly government. The game unfolds entirely in full-screen, full-motion video from a first-person perspective, and the challenge lies in reacting quickly enough to launch missiles at the enemy aircraft bearing down on the player.
