Fire Truck (video game)

Fire Truck is a black-and-white 1978 arcade game. It was developed and published by Atari, Inc.. According to GamesRadar, it was the earliest video game with cooperative gameplay where two players were forced to work together. A one-player version of the game, called Smokey Joe was also released. This was internally identical to Fire Truck.

Fire Truck is built on the technology created for Atari's Super Bug released the previous year. Both games were programmed by Howard Delman.
