Play Feuerwehr Im Einsatz Online

Game Overview

Feuerwehr Im Einsatz (basically "Fire Department in Action") is one of those weird little Atari 2600 games that somehow makes running around putting out fires with a tiny pixel hose weirdly tense. You're just this blocky firefighter dude dodging obstacles while trying to save people from burning buildings—it's simpler than it sounds, but good luck not panicking when the flames start spreading faster than you can squirt them.

Honestly, the controls feel a bit stiff now (it is an old PAL-region oddity), but there's something charming about how hard it makes something as basic as aiming water. I kept missing the windows and soaking the sidewalk instead. Starsoft clearly didn’t bother polishing it like the big Atari hits, but that janky vibe is exactly why collectors dig it—that, and how bizarrely specific "German firefighter simulator" is as a concept for 1983.

If you’ve played every common 2600 cart to death, this one’s a fun deep cut to hunt down.
