This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

Tomcat Alley (トムキャットアレイ) is a flight simulator-esque game for the Sega Mega-CD. It is heavily reliant on full motion video, with gameplay being little else but lining up cursors on targets within a short period of time. It was later brought in an updated form to Windows-based PCs.

Curiously Tomcat Alley recycles the photography from After Burner III for its cover art.
