Developed by Dynamix and published by Electronic Arts for the Commodore 64 in 1989, Project Firestart is one of the earliest examples of the Survival Horror genre.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })On September 12, 2061, the System Science Foundation loses contact with the research vessel Prometheus, which is in orbit near Saturn's moon Titan. The SSF sends agent Jon Hawking to investigate, warning him of the genetic experiment that has been taking place on the ship. Almost immediately after docking at the Prometheus, Jon finds his first hint at the nature of the incident: a dismembered crew member next to the word "DANGER" scrawled in blood.Jon's primary objectives are to recover the science log for the experiment (the eponymous "Project Firestart") and set the Prometheus to self-destruct, in order to curb whatever disaster the experiment has caused. However, occasional cutscenes interspersed through gameplay clue the player in to other happenings on the ship, all of which serve to complicate the situation in one way or another.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Ambiguously Brown: Every single character, living or dead, who appears in the flesh. Word of God is that this is the most realistic human skin tone they could achieve with the C64's limited color palette.

Apocalyptic Log: The science log details the initial conception of the genetically-engineered organisms all the way to when they become too aggressive to control.

Blackout Basement: At one point the main power goes down in the Prometheus, though environments and characters are still somewhat visible through grey outlines. Jon has to engage the backup generator to get things in order again. Annar is the one who turns off the power. This is also when the second-generation creature appears.

Big Damn Heroes: Even if you get to the cryogenic chamber as fast as possible, it's still Just in Time to see one of the creatures breaking through the door on the other side. On the other hand, you can also be too slow (see You Are Too Late below).
