You don't tend to think of the Genesis whenever the topic of first person shooters comes up. After all, the genre was in its console infancy at the time, and Sega's old work horse isn't exactly known for its 3D prowress. Even so, there are a few games here and there, including Accolade's Zero Tolerance, a title that every Genesis owner should boot up at least once, just to get the gist of how a 3D FPS runs on the console. We've got a full review for you, so read up and then get to playing!

FIRST!
Ahem... I might want to note that I did have fun with the game, even if it's not actually all that great. Enjoyment will vary.

Well put. That's pretty much what I thought about the game as well, but I feel the soundtrack deserves some more bashing.

I pulled out my old Zero Tolerance cart (it's huge with yellow fins). I must say I did enjoy it more than I thought I would however it is incredibly unfulfilling with bland graphics and uninspired level design. It's probably one of those negatives outwaying the positives scenarios for me.

Awesome game. I got it a month ago, completely unaware to what it was. I'd rather play this than 32x DOOM, hands down. Now, if I can get a link cable...

Good game, clearly superior to Battle Frenzy.

Zero Tollerance is tosh.
The review is fair and ballanced, but personally I believe the negatives greatly outweight the positives.

Personally I can't really rate this title, there just isn't anything to it, remember the psone had this hardware where you could go home and make your own games, and then ps magazines would put the homebrews onto their demos?
I remember one guy made an fps, all with the same corridors and bad guys and only 4 levels with one type of gun... It was probably more fun than ZT because of smoothness..."Age badly is something women do, games are good or bad when they are released. "
"It's like watching Runic stones by vikings here in Täby: not beautiful compared to Mona Lisa, but damn fine stuff for their time, as Phantasy Star II is, and that is why I enjoy it."

I don't recall the Zero Tolerance cart having "yellow fins".

Very good review.
Buy stuff at the Magical Game Factory, WaterMelon's crowd funding video game development site!

I say the review is spot on! What's maybe missing is the info that the rom is freely available on the Technopop-Homepage as well, since the owner of the trademark and copyright decided to make the image available into public domain. (Though I have to admit, playing this game emulated on a PC only reminds one of how many better FPS there are for home computers).
Played the game back in the day when it was released; never bought it, just got it as a rental. It was fun for a while, but even then the graphics and sounds never really impressed me.Last edited by Phantar; 09-06-2007 at 09:37 AM.

Not quite sure, either, as my cart was just an Accolade Bubsy-style casing.I don't recall the Zero Tolerance cart having "yellow fins".
Thanks for the props, guys.

How much would this game go for on average?
I'm kind of interested in it but don't want to pay too much as I often get bored with older FPSes.

Zero Tolerance is pretty cheap and you will get bored of it quickly. Originally Posted by Man-Fish
