It’s time to fly into the danger zone! Sega’s Tomcat Alley takes the full throttle action of jet fighters and mixes it with… full-motion video? Yep, and suprisingly, it isn’t all that bad. In fact, Tomcat Alley is, dare I say it, enjoyable.

Sega Download: Genesis Virtual Console Vol. 08
We’re back with a fresh batch of Genesis games on the Wii Virtual Console, and this installment may be the best yet. There’s been a slew of great 16-bit games pouring onto the console lately, and this latest group is definitely going to be hard to beat.

Read all about them in the latest edition of Genesis Virtual Console, and get ready to buy some Wii point cards. You’re going to need them.

The games are laughable, and not a single one is memorable. Even the “best” of the set, Cheetahmen, has been neutered.
