Project Firestart

Project Fire Start is a home computer game for the Commodore 64 by Damon Slye. The game was developed by Dynamix and first published in 1989 by Electronic Arts. The action-adventure game leaned on in his story to the movie Aliens and is considered a pioneer of the survival horror genre. This cinematic design options were installed such as fade -ins and fade- outs in the game play. The game allowed you to achieve different ends of the story, and also by the for that time very rich graphics, the game was very successful.

Despite the great success and the great praise of critics - some described the game as the previously best published adventure - the game has not been ported to other computers.
