Tomcat is a fairly complex, yet reasonably easy to understand flight simulator. It utilizes all of the switches on the Atari system to control various parts of the airplane. You begin on the deck of an aircraft carrier. After launching, you'll come across enemy fighters. Attempt to shoot them down with one of three different missile types or your machine gun. If an enemy missile is fired at you, it will show up on radar, and you must maneuver your plane to avoid being hit. When you are low on fuel or ammo, you'll be called back to the carrier, at which time you'll have to perform a carefully controlled landing. The game continues through the night.
