'''''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!

* [[Bald of Awesome]]: Awesome is sort of stretching it, but [[Voice with an Internet Connection|your commanding officer]] isn't exactly a chump.
* [[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.
