The amateur programming scene in Europe was thriving during the late 80s and early 90s. Coders from all over the continent would show off their skills by creating demos – a series of (usually) non-interactive special effects that drove their chosen hardware to the limit. Although there were demos created for all sorts of personal computers and gaming systems, the hacker community that sprang up around the Amiga was by far the largest and most enthusiastic. Hundreds packed into copy parties, demo expos, and conventions dedicated to the powerful Amiga, and it was in this environment that one of the most ambitious software teams ever to tackle the Genesis was born. That company was Zyrinx.
The people that brought you "Hardwired" on the Amiga and "Red Zone", "Sub-Terrania" on the Mega Drive.
