Retromundi! Free Online Retro Games

Save as many as possible from the fire! Fire was the fourth Game & Watch game to be released. It was made by Nintendo Research & Development 1 and released on July 31, 1980 (product number RC-04 under the Silver series). It was one of the most popular games in the Game & Watch series. Due to Fire popularity, another version was released on December 4, 1981 (product number FR-27, shown on the photo). That version was part of the Wide Screen series. In the Silver Screen version, people are falling from a burning building. The player controls two firemen who carry a trampoline. They have to bounce all the people to a waiting ambulance. When they get a person in the ambulance the player scores 1 point. But if a person hits the ground, the player loses a life. There are three lives. If the player loses them all they lose the game. In the Wide Screen version, gameplay is very similar except there are a few changes. The biggest change of all is the fact that the player only needs to bounce a person to score a point instead of having to get them in the ambulance. Another change is that the Wide Screen version was more colorful and had better graphics than the Silver Series version. In Game & Watch Gallery, Game & Watch Gallery 3, and Game & Watch Gallery 4, Fire is a playable game. Fire also makes a brief appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, on Flat Zone 2. Players can jump on the trampoline which is held out by the firemen. Mr. Game & Watch also has a special move based on this game in Smash Bros. He is propelled upwards by the men with the trampoline, after which he releases a parachute, based on the Game & Watch game Parachute.
