Fire Truck is a black-and-white 1978 arcade game developed and published by Atari, Inc.[4] According to GamesRadar, it was the earliest video game with cooperative gameplay where two players have to work together.[5][6] Fire Truck is built on the multi-directional scrolling technology created for Atari's Super Bug released the previous year.[7]
A single-player version was released as Smokey Joe.[8][9] It is internally identical to Fire Truck.[7] Both games were programmed by Howard Delman.[10] Fire Truck was distributed in Japan by Namco.[1]
