About this game

Bloodshot is a 1995 action shooter developed by Domark and published by Acclaim. It is notable as a 3D first-person shooter on the Sega Mega Drive, and as the only game in that genre released for the Sega Mega-CD.

Release Overview

  • Released in Mega Drive cartridge form in Europe and Australia.
  • Distributed through the Sega Channel in North America under the name Battle Frenzy.
  • The Sega Mega-CD version was initially exclusive to Europe. A North American version using the Battle Frenzy name was released in 2003 by Good Deal Games without Domark or Acclaim's consent.

The title refers to a code name for the fictional “Battle Frenzy” chip implanted in the player; despite the name, the game does not contain blood.
