About Fire Fighter

The objective of the game is to save a person trapped in a burning building. In order to do so you have to extinguish the fire with your fire hose. To complicate matters further the fire will spread to the next floors and you only have a limited water supply. After extinguishing the fire you have to allign the ladder of your fire truck to the floor where the person is on so that he can climb to safety. In subsequnt levels the building has fewer floors resulting in a higher difficulty level.

Brad Stewart's building-fire rescue game for Imagic, cheap and modest.

Fire Fighter is an action game written by Brad Stewart and published by Imagic in 1982. You use fire-fighting equipment to put out a fire in a tall building and rescue the people inside. It supports one or two players.

Little else is documented about it, and it has never been one of Imagic's better-known titles.

What the press said at the time

“One of the dullest games to come from Imagic, Firefighter gives you the opportunity to extinguish the flames in a burning building.”

— JoyStik, January 1983
