What Lavina wrote is the case! I can confirm that Plus4 really has changed my life and my way to think.

I think that the Commodore Plus4 had changed the lives for most of us here and determined who we became. I thought about this many times. I could tell a million ways it affected our professional/personal lives, way of thinking, welfare, values, etc.

Yeah, definitely it is the same game! I see the bars
Well, I had a similar experience with Primo keyboard as the Homecomputer Fan Club we had every Saturday.
Unfrotunately the BASIC dialect it knew was not fully compatible with ZX Spectrum, HT or Commodores, so it was pretty hard to get a BASIC game in magazine or book. Everything had to be converted (even the sound notes' value), certainly it was beyond the humble skills of 9/10 years old kids. So even the BEEP command was not compatible with ZX Spectrum, we noticed it after typing in a long ZX Spectrum program using BEEP commands 
Anyhow, Tüzoltó seems it was not officially released, but a well made (almost professionally looking) home release.
Well done!
I am happy, that the author found this hobby as a life changer "addiction" and became a professional programmer.

| The Story of Tűzoltó
On the 3rd page of this magazine, there's a mention of a game called Tűzoltó (Firefighter), and there's even a photo of it... But it's too hard to make out! Could it be one of the programs already in our database?
One game we do have with this name comes with a hand-drawn cassette cover. Does that mean this game was actually sold commercially?
That game does not have the author mentioned, but it is a decent work for an amateur game... but why does it play the Pink Panther theme?
Well, if you're visiting Plus/4 World, chances are, you're the type of person who desperately wants to find the answers to those burning questions! Never fear, I (Csabo) managed to contact the author, and now everyone can read his, and the game's story. Enjoy!
