Description:
Station 37 is about fighting fire and rescuing people. Grab your axe, fire extinguisher, helmet, and run into the fire! (show spoilers)

This game starts off like you would expect from a retro style fire fighting game with upgrades and many buildings you rescue people from. But by the end of the first level you are fighting aliens and none of the hinted at upgrades or other levels ever materialise.

Opinion:
A great surprising game, the fire-fighting in particular was very fun and could easily be turned into a full feature length game.
