You know, I got this game as a christmas present when i first got my GBA as a wee little lad, because i liked rescue heroes at the time since I was a child and liking random childrens media is what children do. I couldn't tell you what rescue heroes was actually about if you asked me today, though. Heroes that rescue people idfk. Anyways as a kid I had this game and liked it a lot but eventually gave it away as i got older because "its a baby game", despite kid me quite enjoying the game. I always put my childhood enjoyment of this game down as just me being a kid with a low sense of standards, because how could a rescue heroes licensed game actually be good, right? Well, surprisingly I gave it another go 15 years later and the game actually isn't half bad. The games made by wayforward and is a totally servicable exploratory action platformer where you gotta rescue all the guys and put out fires n whatnot. It's by no means a masterpiece, and I don't like the term "hidden gem", but maybe you should give this game a try if you are into fun lil sidescrollers or just games where you play as firefighters in general, there aren't too many of those out there.
