Sub-Terrania  Scavenger (Zyrinx)1994Some rather aggressive aliens have invaded the underground depths of the Earth, and you're just the subterranean fighter pilot to get rid of them. Fly through the darkest caverns in search of the terrifying enemies in this detailed trip below the surface. You'll need quick reflexes and nerves of steel to get these critters out of the Earth's hair, and the gravitational pull towards the surface won't exactly help matters. If you can pick up some cleverly placed gear, you might just be able to transform your fighter into a submarine to get out to the ocean. Incredible graphics and a massive gaming experience make SUB TERRANIA the perfect sci-fi addition to your Genesis collection.***

This game features 2 system multiplayer via The Technopop 2-Player Network Link Cable. This proprietary cable was offered for free with purchases of the game. With it, 2 Genesis consoles (Megadrives) can be networked through their player 2 ports. Technopop eventually published the schematics so players could make this cable themselves. It is a simple matter of connecting pins to pins, no pins connect to more than one other pin, 2 pins remain unconnected, 1 pin connects to the shielding of the wire. It is impossible to plug the cable in backwards so don't worry about it.

Directly from the game box:

You have zero tolerance for the terrorists out there against you. They're in yer face and they ha ve to die. The 1st person perspective gives you no time to prepare - it's kill or be killed. Pick your weapon of destruction from lasers, bazookas, grenades or shotguns, and go kick some aliens. This is a 3-D, adrenaline-pumping, 360-degree total combat experience. You don't just play it, you survive it.

Zero Tolerance 2: Beyond Zero Tolerance Zyrinx;Technopop1996Never released, but the ROM has been successfully dumped and is now declared Public Domain. See links for details.

This is DEFINITELY meant to be an in-house only version. It is clearly labelled 'Build 062395a'. Fascinating stuff.
