Tomcat Alley, a late release in Sega's TruVideo series for Sega CD, involves the player controlling an F-14 Tomcat in aerial combat against Russian Migs. The narrative revolves around thwarting a rogue Soviet commander, who intends to utilize chemical weapons from his Mexican desert base against the United States.
