This is the Sega CD 32X disc, so it needs a Genesis, a Sega CD and a 32X all connected together. Sega developed and published it, and the North American release packed the Sega CD version and the 32X version together in one set. In it you play a rescue specialist entering burning buildings, and you choose where to go instead of following a fixed route.

GamePro reviewed the 32X disc separately and said the strong points of the Sega CD game got better on it, with gameplay that stayed the same: you work through a house, a hotel and a university, mostly with simple taps on the directional pad. Next Generation was much cooler on it. It liked being allowed to pick your own path but found the bad acting, grainy video and lack of real gameplay got in the way.

In this Sega-developed and published disc you work through burning buildings as a firefighter, choosing where to go rather than following a fixed route. This is the plain Sega CD release, which needs no 32X; a separate Sega CD 32X version of the game also exists, and the North American release packaged both versions together in one set. The Mega-CD version came out in Europe in May 1995 and in Japan on 1 September 1995.

GamePro's June 1995 review called it a stylish thriller with Hollywood-style sound and graphics, praised the clear voices of the veteran firefighters, and said it slowly lights an intense fire under you without bringing thumb-burning action. Its one flaw was the limited controls, which come down to simple taps on the directional pad.
