Think about it, it could be absolutely wicked, especially withtoday's graphical effects generating a real-time fire, spreading or dwindling according to your actions. Done properly, it could be ace. Make it an action-type game though, not Sim Fire Fighter or something equally godawful.

Thanks

Or you could play that game at the pier where you shoot a background with a high powered water gun, and shooting certain things triggers some "hilarious" antics.

Funny you should ask.

Only the other day, Tuesday, I think, I was reading about some odd Japanese arcade games, mostly made my Sega.

One was an ambulance driving sim, racing to get to the hospitals before passangers died. Another was a dog walking sim. Okay.

Also, there was a fire fighting game.

It was like a shooter on rails, but instead of a gun theres a hose, with adjustable nozzle, so you could alter the power of your watery blasts.

I read about it on www.xengamers.com it was a recent feature, if you want more info.

You just want to play out that fantasy of being a tough fireman you've had ever since seeing Backdraft on C5, without having to go through the embarrassment of hiring/steeling the uniform only to find out it doesn't fit your child like body.

he he he

Yeah and wouldnt it be great if there was a TV attachment, which consisted of a butane canister and a small flame. Which threw fire in your face to give your anus a realistic workout when you experience a genuine backdraft.
