''Zone Raiders'' is a hovercar racing [=/=]VehicularCombat game, released in 1995 for DOS [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PCs]] and UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh. The protagonist is a freelance Raider who ventures into the dangerous Free Zone, where rare and expensive items can be scavenged. Getting those items, however, won't be easy: other raiders are headed towards the Zone with the same intention, and the hero must race them, using all means to get there first. The futuristic cars resemble those that were used in the 20th century, with an important difference: they are equipped with hover plates and heavy weaponry. The protagonist should search for new weapons, shield regenerators, jet packs, and jet packs, as he races and sabotages opponent cars.

* RecursiveAmmo: Grenades from the Grenade Launcher split into smaller grenades if they collide with an obstacle instead of an enemy the first time.
* ScoringPoints: You have a counter of your total score, and a given level's current score and best score.
* TimedMission: The first mission gives you 10 minutes to beat it. The other missions will keep tally of your time, but only for scoring purposes to encourage you to actually race through the game.
* ZeroEffortBoss: Once you destroy the turrets protecting the [[spoiler:Zone Master]], which can be done with relative ease by staying near an obstacle at all times, it is left completely defenceless and you can blast it with anything you like with no interruption.
