'''''Fire Fight''''' is a 1996 [[Isometric Projection|Isometric]] [[Shoot'Em Up]] developed by [[Chaos Works]] and [[Epic Games]] (when they were called Epic Megagames) and published by [[Electronic Arts]] (in the days when ''they'' went by their full title instead of just EA) in 1996. You control a white U-shaped fighter craft with a variety of weapons, and fly missions on various [[Single Biome Planet|Single Biome Planets]] destroying ground and air targets and accomplishing specific other objectives, such as [[Hostage Situation|rescuing hostages.]] Simple enough.
The interesting [[Inverted Trope|inversion]] is in the plot- you work for [[The Empire]], attempting to suppress the forces of [[La Résistance]]. In practice, [[The Empire]] is more [[The Federation]] and [[La Résistance]] are no heroic [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]], so it winds up seeming like [[Gray and Grey Morality]]. [[Excuse Plot|But don't worry your head about that.]]
''Fire Fight'' has some impressive-looking sprites, satisfying sound effects, excellent music, and decent dialogue. (You know, for a [[Shoot'Em Up]]. Most don't have any.) Most importantly, it had a nice variety of missions, rather then just "blow up everything." Not that you can't do that, of course. Now get out there and show [[Star Wars|those rebel scum]] what's what!
{{tropelist}}
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: Awesome is sort of stretching it, but [[Voice
* [[BFG]]: The Cannon. What more need be said? It's so potent that it [[Blown Across the Room|blows your ship backwards]] when you fire it! Strangely enough, it's also the weapon with the least visual effects.
* [[Boss Fight]]: Not as many as your typical [[Shoot'Em Up]], but they're around. They not only qualify as [[King Mook|King Mooks,]] but also fire giant-sized versions of the lesser ships' weapons too.
* [[Chase Scene]]: In one mission you must chase down a heavily-armored transport craft full of escaped prisoners through [[Techno Wreckage]] at high speed. Do you force it to land? No! [[Stuff Blowing Up|You blow it up!]] Yeah! [[Unfortunate Implications|... Wait.]]
* [[Cool Shades]]: The player character.
* [[Cool Starship]]: Your craft.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: The player character.
* [[Detect Evil]]: Rather then a [[Enemy
* [[Escort Mission]]: At one point your commander is ambushed while on a boat headed downriver. However, you need only destroy the mines in his way for success, the enemies aren't much threat to him and his ship moves fairly slowly, giving you plenty of time.
* [[Eternal Engine]]: Some levels are equal parts this and [[Space Station]].
* [[Exploding Barrels]]: Even better, entire exploding ''fuel dumps.''
* [[Jungle Japes]]: [[Single Biome Planet|The planet Jarventa.]]
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: Your Swarmer weapon has this covered.
* [[Mad Bomber]]: In some missions you work in conjunction with a demolitions specialist who ''really'' loves his job. Luckily, [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath|he's on your side.]]
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
* [[Space Friction]]: There are both in-atmosphere and space levels. Your ship can handle the same in both environments.
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Hoo boy
* [[Voice
