Status: Lost
Duelin' Firemen! was an FMV game created by RUNANDGUN! Studios between 1994 and 1995. Although the developers never announced the cancellation of the project, it missed it's July 1995 release date[1]and subsequently all news on the project dried up.
The game's plot details are unknown, except for a generic story about a second "Great Chicago Fire." The gameplay was never shown. In 2001, the lead director and writer of the game, Grady Sain, released a 7 minute compilation of many of the filmed interludes of the game in the format of a long trailer, dubbed the "Sundance Trailer."[2]
The game had a huge cast, including cameos by Timothy Leary, Rudy Ray Moore, Mark Mothersbaugh, and even Tony Hawk!
