As a kid, I played the hell out of The Ignition Factor. It's a pretty decent game, but going back to it nowadays, you tend to notice all the minor flaws and oversights you were able to gloss over as a kid. This game looks a little bit simpler, so I figure it'll be a fine alternative.
I kinda wonder why there aren't more firefighter simulations/games out there. I imagine with this current generation's graphics capability, you would be able to realize some truly incredible scenarios.
I think the message is that if we build highly advanced robots, keep them away from fire or firemen will have deadly battles to the death with them. Then again, I'm guessing this game was originally Japanese, so, that really isn't that surprising.
The start of a new retro game show a friend and I are starting. Help us out please. We start the seris by playing The Firemen.

I didn't notice anything that explains why you guys' think this game is an "Accurate portrayal of the future."

@Throsor Yes, but this game has a better looking HUD and it is made by the Japanese.

I love how it's 2009 and not a whole lot has changed since this game was made. Firefighters don't go carrying sweet water cannons on their arms.

I played this game when I was...I don't know, about 6 or 7 years old. I barely remember the game, I just know that I loved it.
Seriously, now that I've seen this I gotta play the game again sometime.
