  • Comment:
    Well, it's not exactly on par with the arcade version of Rampage, which had a 512x480x128 resolution. It also lacks support for three players that the arcade version had. The character of Ralph, who ate the wrong food additive and turned into a giant wolfman is missing. This game is also available as a ROM image that runs on the various ports of MAME and their is a C64 port. Their was a sequal to this game for the Nintendo 64 called Ramapage World Tour. - Mathew R.

  • Suggested conversions:
  • OS Rage: - Rename the character George to Mac and Lizzie to Amy. Change the signs on the building from saying Motel and Bank to Intel and M$. Lastly change the good items into apples and boing balls, and the toilet to a PC clone. Fun for a little Wintel smashing. Mathew R. Ignash (mignash@rust.net)
