In early 1995, an updated version of the 1993 Atari Lynx handheld video game BattleWheels was announced.

The game blends the two genres also found in its predecessor: car combat and first-person shooting.

[3] It contains a linear single-player storyline, which consists of the aftermath of an apocalypse, caused by wealthy corporations (Insiders) that were angered and financially damaged by the general public's (Outsiders) use of free orgone energy.

Due to the previous delays and also the new internal mergers, post-release support for Redline ceased after only one small official patch was released; thus, there was no way to edit or mod the game.

Tommo purchased the rights to Redline and digitally published it through its Retroism brand in 2015;[7] thus, the game was re-released on Steam and GOG.com, albeit unchanged from the original release.

[8] Most reviewers praised the graphics and premise; however, they were divided on the gameplay itself (the blending of car combat and first-person shooting).
