Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/RedZone'': Both helicopter and on-foot levels have a top-down view. Unusual for a UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis game, walls and structural objects are rendered with a 3D perspective that varies with the player's position, though it's fairly obvious that the latter are composed of flat sprites stacked on top of copies of themselves.
