Fire (Wide Screen)

This page is about the 1981 Wide Screen re-release of Fire. For the original Fire, see the Silver Series version of Fire, available on the Game & Watch Appreciation Wiki.

The Wide Screen re-release of Fire is a 1981 Wide Screen Game & Watch game, which is a re-release of the RC-04 Silver Series Fire, released in 1980. The model code for this game is FR-27.

Gameplay: The gameplay is the same as the original Silver Series version of Fire, but here are the differences. A fireman swings a bell when the alarm goes off. Points are also gained by catching the falling people instead of just getting them to the ambulance. Misses are now cleared at 200 points. The sprites look much more realistic than the Silver Series version of Fire.

Trivia: This version of Fire is also playable on Game & Watch Gallery and Game & Watch Gallery 4. The alarm tone for this game is also used in Helmet, Parachute, Octopus, and Popeye. In Super Smash Bros, when Mr. Game & Watch uses his Up Special, the firemen are the same ones from the Wide Screen re-release of Fire. Additionally, in Flat Zone 2 and Flat Zone X, one of the backgrounds resemble the Wide Screen re-release of Fire.
