Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of retro gaming with Ricardo
today's game is rampage rampage the 1986 arcade game by poly midway now it is
rumored that this game is going to be the subject of a film that was announced
in 2015 that dwayne johnson the rock will be starring in some capacity with
this film but other reports are yet unknown players take control of gigantic
monsters try and survive against onslaughts of military forces each round
is completed when a particular city it completely reduced the rebel warner
brothers currently owns all rights to the property after three simultaneous
players control gigantic monsters who were formerly human and they're there
for mutants the game's protagonist are George a king kong likes gorilla who I'm
playing at the moment transformed by an experimental vitamin Livy a God liver
like dinosaurs lizard transformed by a radioactive lake and Ralph a giant
werewolf transformed by a food additive as monsters they need to raise all
buildings in a high-rise ot to advance the next level eating people and
destroying helicopters tanks taxis police cars boats and trolleys along the
way as the screen says climb punch damaged buildings punch open windows to
find food and destroy everything in its path
so starting the game we are selecting to be George after three players can use
the mouse and keyboard in addition to this you get dropped in which looks like
five sun-filled helicopter and away you go punch in those buildings and eating
people monsters can climb the building pinching them to pieces on the way down
which will eventually reduce them to rubble the various people can also be
punched or grab and food items can be eaten the players monsters receive
damage from enemy bullets sixth of dynamite shells tension some other
monsters and fall damage is recovered by eating the various food items such as
fruit roast chicken or even the soldiers if a monster takes too much damage it
reverts to a naked human and starts walking off the screen sideways covering
its modesty his hand and this state can be eaten by another monster if the
player continues the human league takes back to the monster or if the human
walked off the screen flies in on a blimp that has lost this score but with
a whole life though smashing open windows jemli reveals a night and a
person of interest which may be helpful or harmful harmful items include fruit
or many while dangerous won't include bombs electrical appliances and
cigarettes which are bad some items can be both for example a toaster is
dangerous until the toast pops up and a photographer must be eaten quickly
before the key dazzles the players monsters with his flash causing it
before when its civilian is present waving their hands at a window signaling
for help a players point rapidly increase when the person is grabbed each
monster can hold only one type of person George can hold women Lizzy can hold
middle-aged men and Ralph can hold businessmen
rampage if it over the cause of 128 days in cities across North America it's
always America it's never the UK it's never bury it's never carded in this
case then North America can keep it the game starts in Peoria Illinois and ends
up in plano illinois in plano players receive a mega vitamin bonus which heals
all the monsters and provides a large bonus after this the cyclist fifties

Angeles California after going all around North America the rampage travels

round pages originally released for arcades in 1986 rampage was ported to
the Atari 2600 atari 7800 atari lynx atari 8-bit atari st as we can see here
today the Commodore 64 the ms-dos IBM PC the ZX spectrum amstrad CPC the nez the
Sega Master System the atari lynx versions however at a special fourth
character named Larry a giant rat the nez versions excludes Ralph reducing the
number of monsters de tu in 1997 tiger electronics released a handheld version
of the game now the original arcade version of rampage was included in
various compilation in 1999 it was included in arcade party packs for the
PlayStation the original PlayStation in 2003 with including Midway arcade
treasures a compilation of arcade games the Nintendo GameCube PlayStation 2 and
original xbox in 2005 it was included in Midway arcade
treasures extended play the playstation portable and in 2006 it was a bonus
feature in rampage total destruction finally in 2012 it was included in the
compilation Midway arcade origins
incidentally the game was also unlockable in the 2015 game Lego
dimension in that game a human sized version of George da party is in one of
the side quest in the Midway arcade world level of the game the player a gym
in wrecking the area and protecting him from civilians to get the high score
rather than Laurel for living in july three thousand Midway licensed rampage
along with other williams electronics games the shockwave for using an online
applets to demonstrate the power of a shockwave web content platform entitled
shockwave arcade kollection the conversion was created by digital
eclipse and Rampage is also be imported to iOS as part of the Midway arcade at
all great fun and a refreshing mode of gameplay although that is prevalent and
you can shoot hemlock you can kill or punch helicopters grab people out of
building it's cartoon like manner there's I think appeal to children
otherwise think a lot of the jokes in the game do fall on deaf ears and are
lost on them for example in Lego dimensions typically the children who
play that game will not have heard of this nor would have been alive when this
would have hit the thing for in replaces iteration
remembering to punch the foundations of the building and incur the maxima a
damage will allow you to destroy the building as you progress through the
game the player starts with typically three lives and removing the other
monsters from the game can make things slightly easier as the competition for
items and therefore a high score puts it in the players test favor this game is
being played with the chemist and joystick which was found to be easy to
play also as a conventional methods the keyboard we found to be quite cumbersome
in using as a control method and especially the mouse
ensuring to destroy the helicopters as quickly as possible reduces the amount
of damage that can happen to your character also be wary have not been to
duck on a collapsing building as that also can dramatically decrease your
health jumping is also quicker than walking and using the jump method can
ensure you get from each end of the screen quickly to get that additional
point as opposed to the computer or another player
when two players begin an attack on the building the race is on not to get
caught but to maintain the maximum amount of damage as the game progresses
more military units and more helicopters will come on the scene items of Tanks
people with exploding exploding barrels and dynamite now if you continue on
through the level the amount of swag you get from the buildings becomes less
making it all important to get onto a lucrative building quicker than your
opponent
they can see my amusement reducing down to a naked alien latex human and moving
off the screen and here i come again playa Zeppelin
now as we start to approach the last building in this level things that to
increase the pace is that need to increase in making now in Detroit
there's a bridge is very important as Hank
I just seem like it's got it in forest
getting close to the tank to the strip ideally would mean you were tacking it
from behind there you go
damaging the bridge will reveal water below it if you fall into the water you
will die now has been has been destroyed
you can go right the tank has indeed been destroyed but no its back on the
other side well that concludes that now concludes rampage in the Atari ST retro
gaming I've seen Ricardo please check back for more videos in the series
