Name that c64 game! No, it's not Paradroid!

So I recall this game that was just awesome when I was a kid. You play as an ambulance or firetruck (one or the other, can't remember which) and drive to the different locations, saving people in the buildings. I think you save them from fire, but maybe they are just injured people and you take them back to the ambulance or something.

Hmmm, I think it's Rescue Squad but the graphics don't really fit my memory. I'll play it when I get off this god forsaken night shift.

I know how you feel. I work 11pm to 7 am and usually 11 to 11 twice a week. Third shift is rough.

Sounds like Ghost-busters.
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

It does, but I think Ghostbusters would be memorable as Ghostbusters. :dunno

Everything for rescue squad fits. I think my memory really made it better than it actually is!

Isn't it crazy how that works. I remember playing Rampart as a kid and for some reason my brain made the castle walls look all cool and castle like, then when i played it as an adult it wasn't the same :( still a fun game though.

Usually does. My memory of Dark Chambers make it better than Guantlet.  :dunno
