Description

Zone 66 took the overhead shooter to another level. Rather than move in just one direction, it let the user move freely in 360 degrees around a map. Thus, Zone 66 was born. Featuring high-action gameplay, a techno soundtrack and plenty of options, this game is a winner.

Trivia

A "GUS Enhancement Pack" was available for Zone 66 that provided greatly enhanced music for Gravis Ultrasound cards.

Zone 66 was developed on a 386 running at 16MHz. For an action game with full-screen updates, this was a technical achievement. Tran was able to eek more speed out of such a machine because he used a preliminary version of his own 386 protected-mode extender "pmode". Unfortunately, due to the extender being an early version, the game is incompatible with all Pentiums and higher. (Which is probably why it's nearly impossible to take a screenshot of gameplay as well -- that, and the game takes over nearly every interrupt in the system :-)
