Стратегическая игра The Great Fire of London для ZX Spectrum

The Great Fire of London is a strategy and management game released in 1985. The player assumes the role of the chief person in London, tasked with organizing firefighters to combat the spread of a massive fire. The game is set over four 'game days', during which players must effectively manage resources to prevent the fire from spreading.

The game provides players with three firefighting methods: water pumps, demolition gangs, and gunpowder gangs. Water pumps are used to extinguish fires, while demolition gangs clear cells to create firebreaks. Gunpowder gangs can blow up non-burning cells to halt the fire's progress. Each method requires strategic deployment to maximize effectiveness.

A unique feature of the game is its map designing utility, allowing players to create and save custom maps with their own street names. This adds a layer of creativity and personalization to the gameplay, enhancing the strategic depth of the experience.

Developed by Gareth J. Briggs and published by Rabbit Software Ltd, the game was designed for the ZX Spectrum 48K. It offers a historical simulation of the Great Fire of London, challenging players to balance quick decision-making with resource management.
