Brave Firefighters

Instead of firearms, the Brave Firefighters arcade cabinet is equipped with two physical fire hose controllers that players use to douse flames and rescue civilians. This modifies the traditional light-gun formula for emergency rescue scenarios rather than combat.

Brave Firefighters is a 3D rail shooter arcade game released by Sega in 1999. It was part of Sega's tradition of creating arcade games with unique, specialized physical controllers during the late 1990s.

Players use the two physical fire hose controllers mounted on the cabinet to spray water at fires and clear a path to rescue trapped civilians. The game guides players through fire emergency scenarios on rails, requiring them to extinguish flames before they can progress to the next stage.

Brave Firefighters was developed by Sega and shares the rail shooter format with titles like the House of the Dead series, but replaces zombie combat with firefighting. It is an example of Sega's late-1990s innovation in arcade cabinet design, using custom controllers to create unique physical experiences.
