The characters in Rampage have three basic moves: a kick, a punch and a jump. Then your characters appear, grin at you, descend to street level, and it's time for the devastation to begin! You're introduced to the game by a panicky news reporter with a story of huge beasts rampaging through a city.
Which is basically where the game starts. You're a little bit miffed about this, as you would be - imagine how difficult it must be to find shoes when your feet are the size of cars - and so you and your gargantuan pals set out to sort out Scum Labs by trashing their complexes around the world, causing as much chaos and damage as you can along the way. You and two friends have been affected by chemicals from a massive chemical company called Scum Labs and mutated into huge monstrous creatures - a giant gorilla, a huge werewolf and a massive lizard.
Basically the storyline behind the game runs as follows. Rampage World Tour is the N64 take on the original coin-op. Now, after what must seem like an interminable wait, Rampage is back, revamped, reworked and ready to rock! Devastatingly Good? There was just something so satisfying about finally toppling the buildings and eating that last annoying sniper.
Even on these machines, with their limited capabilities and primitive graphics, this destructive demolition game met with great success. Rampage soon made the transition to the home computer market, with versions being released on both the Sinclair Spectrum and the Commodore 64, amongst others. It must I have been a bit of a gamble at the time, when shoot-'em-ups were the most popular games, but someone had obviously noted kids' propensity for violent destruction and, sure enough, everyone took to the game like King Kong to the Empire State Building. The gameplay involved controlling a massive mutant creature and rampaging through various cities, destroying the buildings, trampling the armed forces I and eating little old ladies. When Rampage first appeared in the arcades way back in the mists of time, it was an unusual idea.
