Title: Rampart
Post by: BigusSchmuck on November 05, 2015, 05:07:09 AM
Started a game up of Rampart on the SNES. Bad Crack. I'm surprised we didn't see a port of it to the Turbo/PCE since it's ported on almost every other system.. So with that being said, what's everyone's favorite port of Rampart? I personally like the SNES one and the PC port, but haven't played any of the other ports of it yet..

The Konami one on Nes has a bunch of really cool alternate scenarios, that's definitely worth checking out.

I rented the Rampart along with Starfox on a trip with my parents to the beach, wonderful times. I need to pick up the SNES Rampart, I have the nes version.

The snes version wasn't really all that expensive. I paid $8 for it last week and that was on Ebay. More nostalgia than anything for me as I used to play the shit out of that version back in the 90s.

I played the Genesis version a lot in college actually, that game is pretty darn fun.

Holy crap, the Famicom version is completely different than all the other ports. It's like a re-imaging of sorts. Me wants it bad.

Oh hey, I have this game on the Lynx too! I always liked Rampart. I thought it was a solid concept for a fun little puzzle game.

"Ready! Aim! Fire!" I used always play the SNES version and loved it, with 2 players was awesome.
I also vaguely remember playing the arcade version which had a roller ball to control, I googled it and all I could find was this (http://s.emuparadise.org/MAME/cpanel/rampart.png)

Yeah they had it at PRGE this year. I was surprised on how many people were playing it. Might even go the extra mile and get the PCM for my super gun..

I would guess the dedicated arcade cabinet with the roller balls would be quite rare, I only ever saw it once in one arcade.
After reading this thread I went and played the SNES version for the first time in years, it's really a great game.

I still play it now and then on my Lynx. My only gripe, no roller ball controller, the control pad is too slow to move pieces for rebuilding walls.

Wow never heard about it, the NES port is really something else, lots of samples, solid gameplay, looks really fun. I should try it sometime

I wrote NES earlier but I meant to say Famicom - Rampart for the NES and Rampart for the Famicom are in fact totally different versions of the game. The Japanese port is a revamped game by Konami with extra features, check it out:

Not sure about all regions, but here in Japan there was a 2 player PCB that uses standard joysticks instead of trackballs and is fully JAMMA compliant.

I played this all the time at university arcade. Great game.
I even suggested it as a candidate for a TG-16 port years ago (wishful thinking thread).
