Red Zone is a 1994 scrolling shooter video game developed by Zyrinx and published by Time Warner Interactive for the Sega Genesis. The player switches between piloting a helicopter and walking around on foot, both can be played from a top-down and first-person point of view. The game is notable for its use of several technologies that were not prevalent at the time on the Genesis, such as full-screen rotation, 3D vectors, real-time zoom, and full-motion video.
Zyrinx released a beta version of the game into the public domain, which is believed to have been done out of respect for their roots as a demogroup.
