Fire Fight is a Isometric Shoot 'em Up developed by Chaos Works and Epic Games and published by Electronic Arts in 1996. You control a white U-shaped fighter craft with a variety of weapons, and fly missions on various Single Biome Planets destroying ground and air targets and accomplishing specific other objectives, such as rescuing hostages. The interesting 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. Fire Fight has some impressive-looking sprites, satisfying sound effects, excellent music, a decent dialogue and a nice variety of missions.
