Emergency: Fighters for Life, also known as simply Emergency, is a tactical role-playing video game developed for Microsoft Windows in 1998. Four sequels have been released: Emergency 2, Emergency 3, Emergency 4, and Emergency 5.

Gameplay

The player receives a series of missions to complete involving the rescue of injured and endangered civilians, extinguishing fires, and arresting any violators of the law. Scenarios include: an accident at a race track, a plane crash, a flood, a traffic accident and a bomb threat, as well as scenarios based on true events such as the Ramstein air show disaster.

Reception

The game received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Next Generation said, "As a whole, Emergency shows promise but has too many individual flaws to be a worthwhile purchase. The developers should be commended for an original idea, but the execution is poor. We hope they've learned from their mistakes and their next effort will be a bit more polished."
