History

Arcade Video game published 35 years ago:

Ben Bero Beh (c) 1984 Taito Corp.

Ben Bero Beh is a platform game where you guide a small superhero through an apartment complex on fire! Armed with a fire extinguisher, you must make your way down the levels avoiding gas explosions, crumbling floors, damaged lighting fixtures, and various enemies that pop out of the doors. The goal is to extinguish the fire and rescue Ben's girlfriend.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -

* Try to extinguish the fire as soon as possible. Although it does not stop the building from falling to pieces, it will save you trouble on the lower levels (it can fall through cracks in the levels and start up again).

* An easy way to beat the fire is to start spraying when you get within range to bring it down, then aim low while advancing to extinguish the tiny remnants (they can kill you!).
