Your main goals are to: 1) rescue as many people and items as possible in the given amount of time, and 2) put out as much of the fire as you can. The points you get are based on: 1) the amount of time that you have left, 2) the number of people rescued, and 3) the items that you bring out. You will also get a certain amount of "Event Points" for each stage. If you can get at least 5,000 points in all of the stages combined, you will be given access to the bonus mission. This game was released in 1994 by Jaleco USA. (For those of you who don't know, this game was actually inspired by the movie Backdraft!) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- B) Getting to know the gear The firefighting gear available in this game consists of: 1) Axe: can be used to open doors 2) Rope: can be used to cross areas 3) Oxygen Tank and Mask: will let you breathe in toxic conditions 4) Red Fire Extinguisher: will put out regular (orange) fires 5) Electrical Fire Extinguisher (blue): will put out electrical fires 6) Chemical Fire Extinguisher (green): will put out chemical fires 7) CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Bombs: can put out large areas on fire 8) Pole: can help you check the floor to see if it is safe 9) Plastic Explosives: useful for blowing open or through things 10) Fire Trucks: can be used to clear a path through and/or put out large areas on fire ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- C) Controls A: controls items B: jump X: kick Y: controls extinguishers L (Left): none R (Right): allows you to "see through" walls Start: item screen Select: map (shows your location, the locations of other firefighters, and the locations of people) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- D) Level 1: Pygmalion Products and Bradshaw Steel Mill Stage 1: Pygmalion Products # of people to be rescued: 6 (8 possible) # of items found: 3 (lockbox, first-aid kit, and antique vase) Time: 10 minutes Type of fires: chemical Other firefighters: Jay and Chris Type of structure: high rise - The lockbox is located in the upper left corner of the second room from Lucy's office, the first-aid kit is given to you by Lucy, and the antique vase is located just below the lower right corner of the left most table in the room where Ann and Chris are.
