"I do believe I'm on fire." - Spy
Fire Fighter is an Atari 2600 game written by Brad Stewart in 1982. You play as a firefighter, who has to save a man from a burning building.
Objectives
- Fastest completion
- Emulator: BizHawk 2.11.0 (Stella core)
Notes
The only requirement is to rescue the man. You have to extend the ladder from the firetruck to reach the window. Putting out the fires is not required, and after rescuing the man, the game just ends. The select button lets you switch to buildings of different heights, but the run is pretty much the same.
You could potentially save more time if you can rescue the man from the second window instead of the third, but I can't get this to happen. Putting out the fire takes too much time.
I'd like to dedicate this TAS to my friend Lily, whose mom played this game. Hope you like this TAS. - Kathryn

DrD2k9: Very short, but appears optimized.
As mentioned in the submission notes, there are different game modes that change the height of the building. Specifically there are 8 modes that have building heights of 3 to 10 stories tall. The same sequence of inputs to save the guy works in all stages. Since all the "one building" runs would be the same other than the time delay to select the different buildings, this submission is effectively the fastest "one building" version of this TAS. I think that can be considered our "baseline" goal for this game.
That said, the 9th mode of the game is all the buildings in sequence. I think there's value in having a published "all buildings" version as well. Given that the input used in this run works for all buildings in the seuence of mode 9, I'd encourage Walgrey to submit that run as well.
Accepting.
