An underrated gem
Running an FPS on the Mega Drive was a tall order, and this Technopop title pulls it off with delightful ingenuity, even offering link-cable co-op between two consoles. Inevitably limited technically and discreetly distributed, it remained a footnote. But its very existence, and its ambition, will fascinate anyone curious about improbable hardware feats.
Is Zero Tolerance still worth playing in 2026?
An FPS by Technopop, Zero Tolerance offers a first person shoot in a space station invaded by alien terrorists. The dark sci-fi art direction, multi character team system with distinct abilities and two player versus mode via Genesis cable make it an absolutely remarkable curiosity of the Mega Drive catalogue. For anyone fond of retro FPS or wishing to discover a console FPS precursor, a warm recommendation today still truly here indeed for any genre fan now.
