Fire Truck / Smokey Joe (PROM version)

Navigate city streets in Atari’s 1978 arcade game, Fire Truck (also known as Smokey Joe), a cooperative driving experience for two players. One player controls the fire engine using a steering wheel and gas pedal while the other manages the hook and ladder from the rear of the cabinet, keeping it aligned with the truck. The objective is to cover as much distance as possible in minimal time, earning points along the way and striving for bonus fuel time by reaching specific score thresholds. Gameplay involves carefully maneuvering around hazards indicated on the road; precise steering adjustments are key to avoiding collisions that drain fuel and reduce your final score. Following directional arrows helps prevent backtracking and unexpected obstacles. Successfully navigating the course earns ratings from "SORRY" to "ACE," based on distance traveled, providing a simple but engaging challenge for both players. This unique arcade game allows two people to work together in order to achieve a high score or bonus time while utilizing separate controls to manage different aspects of the fire truck and its equipment.
