Game Notes
May include inaccurate AI generated content
In FIRE!, you control a Fire Department helicopter dropping water on burning buildings. The PETSCII art in this one is effective, although the helicopter looks a little goofy. The gameplay is solid but the controls are a bit sluggish—I suppose that while you struggle to push the helicopter back and forth above the burning buildings, you can imagine that you're trying to fly in high winds.
This game is all about seizing the initiative. If you don't act quickly to contain the fire, it will spread rapidly and the entire screen will burn.
