Red Zone is a video game developed by Zyrinx and published by Time Warner Interactive in 1994 for the Sega Genesis console.
A pre-release version of this game - Hardwired - has been deemed by the (now defunct) developer as publicly distributable.
The game used a number of technologies that were not prevalent at the time on the Genesis/Mega Drive.
Electronic Gaming Monthly determined that the game is difficult to get used to, particularly its top-down perspective, but that the number of usable weapons and missions are impressive and "Both the combat and aerial sequences are innovative and enjoyable". They scored it a 6.8 out of 10.GamePro, while commenting that the helicopter handling and graphical intro are impressive, concluded that the poor controls when maneuvering characters on the ground effectively kill any potential enjoyment.
