Rosco McQueen Firefighter Extreme is an action-genre video game for the PlayStation console. It was first released on September 1, 1997 in the United Kingdom, and August 31, 1998 in the United States. Rosco McQueen, a firefighter, is the protagonist of the game and he is visible from a 3rd-person perspective. McQueen must stop the game's villain Sylvester T. Square and his robotic minions. The overall objective of the game is to put out all fires before the building burns down. In the game, Rosco McQueen goes through 15 towering infernos, fighting fires along the way. During normal game play, McQueen puts out the fires with a hose attached to a carry-on waterpack and refills are gained by collecting water bottles. An axe is used to destroy robots which hinder the path to the goal. The player must also watch out for the temperature: if it gets too hot, then the game ends. Steve Mcfarlane was the lead games designer for the project and also contributing to Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts later in his career.
There are two components for playing a psx Rosco McQueen Firefighter Extreme game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psx OS and software.
The second component is the Rosco McQueen Firefighter Extreme game itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest Retroarch – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading Retroarch, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the RetroArch-1.7.5-x86-setup.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Rosco McQueen Firefighter Extreme. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to Retroarch and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
