| beatmania IIDX - RED ZONE |
 |
One of my all time IIDX favorites! It's
perfect for DDR Supernova! Song is listed as
speed rave but sounds like eurobeat to me,
movie is hot cars and fast women, with some
"Secret Live 2" concert footage as well.
Music by Naoki Maeda and Tatsuya Shimizu
(a.k.a. Tatsh). Video by Gyo Eguchi (a.k.a.
VJ GYO)

| Red Zone by the Star Club |
 |
MV/PV for the song "Red Zone". The video is
from 1986 when the Japanese punk band Star
Club was trying to expand internationally and
had started touring and recording in
Australia. The mini LP that was recorded
there, "Ground Zero" has all sorts of
newspaper clippings in the artwork about how
they really weren't welcome there but it's
kind of hard to read exactly what went down.
It seems like some of the union workers at
some halls they were to play at didn't
approve of them either for being punk and/or
just being Japanese. I don't know what the
full story is though.

| Criminally Overlooked Games #10: Red Zone |
 |
Red Zone is a game that can only be called an
eclectic mix of resource management and
action. When you start you have one
helicopter and three characters with varying
abilities. If you lose a character they stay
dead for the rest of the game. If you lose
the helicopter, you lose everything. It's
very important to have a solid strategy to
conserve, avoid conflict and make the best
use of supplies possible to proceed.
Thankfully it also uses a password system.
The game is much deeper than it appears on
the surface and you'll really need to keep on
your toes to adapt to sudden unexpected
events.
But Red Zone isn't just unique for it's game
play, it also features some of the most
impressive technical feats on the Genesis and
even outlines them before the game starts.
Full motion video and mode-7 style graphics
were mostly unheard of at that point. The
game also has impressive physics, some very
nice sound effects and an excellent
soundtrack by Jesper Kyd, who would go on to
do music for the Hitman series, Splinter Cell
and Unreal Tournament to name just a few.
It was a commercial failure. Maybe it was due
to lousy advertising, maybe it was the game's
unforgiving difficulty, slightly sticky
control or possibly just the messy box art..
for whatever reason it was largely ignored.
