Towering Inferno

Who would win in a fight: a blue firefighter who can only shoot his weak water gun up and down, or a Towering Inferno full of flames that like to clip through walls and out of the building?

Developer Credits#

Extinguish all the levels of a tower. When the helicopter lands, flip the TV Type switch to B/W and then press Select and Fire on both controllers. The tower's graphics will change to the initials of the programmer, Paul A. Newell.
