Overview and Gameplay
A Christmas party at Metrotech Chemical Company turns into a high-rise disaster when fire threatens the dangerous chemical MDL. The Firemen follows Pete and AI partner Danny through a top-down rescue action mission inside the burning building.
The player clears flames, rescues survivors, follows route guidance, avoids explosions and backdrafts, and fights boss-like fire encounters across connected stages. Progress is built around survival, fire control, rescue work, and reaching the next section of the building.
Controls And Mechanics
- directions move Pete through rooms and corridors.
- Y uses an upward spray, while B sprays downward for ground-level flames.
- X uses an extinguishing bomb, and A makes Pete crawl under hazards.
- L and R set spray direction and help with strafing while moving.
- Danny supports the mission as an AI partner; there is no second-player control, versus mode, or co-op mode.
