IIRC...... Here's what I was looking for: http://www.generation-msx.nl/msxdb/softwareinfo/1003

Yes, thanks for bringing up the MSX version. In the CV version instead of a pyromaniac to lob the bombs, etc, they just float around chasing you, and there are more hydrants it appears. Other than that, very close. Cool. Like to see Pyro-man.

In answer to earlier questions, yes the green plastic is dark but see thru.
And unfortunatly no joysticks were included with the purchase.
Thanks to those that responded.

Cool! How does Fireman play? It sort of looks like DK in a way. Does the fire move left-right or is it stationary?There is sound effects throughout and simple music at the beginning. There is no jumping fires or gaps in the floor (a la DK), you can walk thru a fire with no damage. If you fall thru a gap in the floor, he is obviously hurt but I dont think he dies (will have to check this again)
Game starts with Fireman on his truck, bottom/right. Start with 4 hand-held extinguishers, that run dry after a while, then you have to go back to the truck to get a new one. You can replenish supply with a new hand-held if you pick one up near top centre of screen when they pop up for a couple of seconds (see green thing in 2nd picture). When the hand-helds run out, you must run a hose from one of the hydrants (those oval on top of triangle things on most floors). Hose from hydrant wont go far, if you try to pull it too far, it retracts fully and you have to go back to get it again. Red ladder on left and the white ladders are stationary but the one running up from the truck goes up and down so you have to be quick to catch it to the upper floors. You dont ride it like an elevator, you must climb.
Fires start spontaneously at the beginning, if not extinguished, they burn thru the floor and then you have a gap in the floor with two fires, one on each side of the gap plus one on the floor below. After completing a level or two, you get bombs, dynamite, and candles chasing you around that kill you if they touch you. You can extinquish them from a little distance away if you are quick enough but if they fall thru a gap, they start another fire on the floor below.

I dont think the scene changes, just more of the same with fires all over the place. I only played it a couple of times, only got to level 3 or 4. Game ends when all players are killed by a bomb, candle or dynamite or the damage to the building exceeds a certain %. I think game also ends if fires reach one of the two objects at the bottom of the screen - barrels of something nasty?
Not a complex game but entertaining for a bit due to its curiosity.

Bought a box of Atari stuff today - garage sale style.
90% was 2600-related but the guy said he used to own an 800 computer, indeed there were a number of 8-bit carts, an 800 power supply, and this thing.
Look familiar to anyone?
- 
The box has a dark green plastic front, a 25-pin female connector at the rear, the cable has the 25-pin male and at the other end of the cable has 2 x 9 pin female connectors.
Label on the back reads Camerica
Opened it up and I am no better off, just a PC board with few chips, resistors, etc.
Dont know if it is even for the Atari or not.
Thanks in advance...

Lucked upon a few playable Colecovision prototypes recently - one is unknown to date to the best of my knowledge - Fireman.
I'll make the .ROM file available at a later date. Also in the process of trying to put together a little YouTube video of the game play.
Seems to have been developed by Nice Ideas - found some interesting info on them by Google'ing around.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_Ideas
Here is a couple of screen shots and a (lousy, I know) pic of the cart itself.
Last pic is one of a (sigh...) empty shell that came with the same lot. Mr Robot .... to be found still?

You may or may not realize this, but there is no "Make-a-Face" cartridge. Box, yes, but the cartridge etc. within are just the regular "Facemaker" contents.Yeah there was one included in a lot on Ebay and had several bids but the guy pulled the listing "No longer available".
Hate when that happens....

Does anyone know if this title was put out for the Adam?http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=300277873116
Probably one of those obscure Adam titles that no one ever heard of, except for those in the secret society of Adam users back in the day...
Is there a way to tell if it is an Adam tape or not without loading it onto an Adam ?
A clue as to whether or not a tape was for the ADAM would be whether or not there is a hole in each of the top corners of the tape so that the pins to hold the tape in place can fit in those holes. Regular audio tapes wouldnt have those holes. A picture of the rear of the tape would show that.
I actually never heard of the game but that is not to say it doesnt exist, there were lots of obscure titles sold in the mid-eighties time frame.

FYI Here is the EVE PS-1 for those who have never seen it.
Seems to work ok for me except there is some kind of minor intermittent interference on my monitor when I use it. Not being the techie type, it just occurs to me that it maybe isnt putting out the full juice it should. (?)
