RTTP: Rampage game series

[jukeboxhero2396]

Rampage is a game in which you destroy a city, it's fun as and gets super chaotic with multiple players. Eating people on the streets or out of buildings was classic.

I wonder if they ever have thought about a remake, we obviously have the technology to do a full city. Would be awesome to just go around and destroy everything with a full scale city. Never played the PS2 one, but I remember running World Tour on my PSP and PS3.

Anyway, returning to this game brought back a lot of memories. One of the games that taught me how to play. Definitely has shown its age, but for a home console version it apparently was better than the arcade.

Game was super fun in co-op!

A shame we didn't get a double pack of World Tour and Universal Tour released as a downloadable game alongside the movie.

Total Destruction was a fun enough time. Not as good as the N64 games, but the sheer amount of monsters you could play as kept it interesting.

Rampage Through Time was absolute trash.

I love Rampage. I first played it on the Spectrum, in 1988! I've loved smashing up cities ever since. The closest thing I've played recently is Godzilla, but that was quite lumbering compared to Rampage.

found out the other day you can set the players to be CPU controlled drones in the spectrum port, which is pretty cool.

Is it a good port? I didn't play the arcade version until around a decade later, so never compared them directly.

Played a ton of Rampage ports, they're honestly all pretty good. Even the Atari 2600 port. Rampage, like R-Type, was one of those games that just translated well to multiple computers.

Was the Master System the best port of the original?

It was a good port, dunno about best however. The lynx port was pretty good, too.

I played Rampage: Total Destruction on the gamecube. I had no idea its a series that existed long before that. Interesting.

THe original was one of the first really zany wacky games around.It's big draw was how interactive the levels were. They'd be full of all sorts of items in the building, like bathtubs or electric signs. You could interact with lots of objects in different ways, like if you ate a bathtub, it would break the pipe and water would shoot out. There was also a woman who would appear that you could grab and hold ala king kong, and doing so would raise your health IIRC.

I dunno if the NES game was just programmed terribly, but this has to be the starkest comparison between two ports on Nintendo and Sega's 8-bit consoles.

I have such fond memories of this game. First played it in an arcade while on vacation in the US in 1986, then got the C64 port a few years later. When I got the Master System version after that, I was really impressed with it. Completed that one quite a few times!

I played the new one at D&B a few times and it's pretty fun. The 64 one was real good tho.

I remember beating the SMS version with my dad in 2 player mode as a kid as a rental from Blockbuster. Stands out as a really strong memory because it was rare to "beat" a game back in those days, especially a rental. I also remember we just kept playing and playing, and we were both really surprised when the game actually ended.

Yeah, that was pretty surprising to me too. The arcade game is endless, isn't it?

Also: welcome back, Krejlooc! We missed your insightful knowledge of retro games and consoles :)

Rampage was the first game I ever got on a home system. I was gifted a Commodore 64 and Rampage at Christmas 1988.

I've always thought the game/series was super fun. My favorite is World Tour, but all of the are good fun.

 

[Tizoc]

Any noticable difference between the n64 and ps1 versions of the games from that era?

 

[haradaku7]

My only exprience is the commedore 64 version :(
