Welcome to my FAQ for Rampage. Since the game is just a linear type of
game, there is a general walkthrough provided. This walkthrough will be broken
up into the game itself and strategies for survival. Input is appreciated
along with constructive criticism. If you wish to e-mail me thoughts on this
FAQ, better ways of doing things, other strategies, etc., feel free. Make sure

| 5. OVERVIEW |===============================================================
+==============+
The arcades are still slowly recovering from the big crash in the early 1980's.
Although some of the mainstay companies such as Atari, Sega, Williams, and
Bally Midway are still around, other companies such as Centuri and Gremlin have
been lost in the fallout. Games have also gotten more creative and definitely
more detailed. This has raised the bar and forced gaming companies to be more
innovative in their game design. Rampage was a different type of game. It was
based on the premise of the 1950's "B" science fiction movies where marauding
monsters attack cities and populations. Of course, the monsters were the
result of some sort of freak genetic disaster. Rampage proved to be a rather
popular game and it sold pretty well. The game also allowed a player to "buy
in" and play another monster (if available). This game has also been ported to
home video consoles and computers which has done nothing to diminish its
popularity. Other notable games from this year were Arkanoid, Joust 2, Rolling
Thunder, and Top Gunner. Have fun destroying the cities that are put before
you.

| 6. THE GAME |===============================================================
+==============+
Rampage is a two-dimensional, platform-style game. You get to be one of three
different monsters. Each has a name and a story as to what happened to them.
The monsters are:
George : The result of a mega-vitamin that went horribly wrong. The mega-
vitamin turned George into a giant ape. George climbs and jumps
better then the other two monsters.
Lizzie : She decided to go to the lake to relax. Unfortunately, there was
something else besides water in the lake...it was radioactive waster.
Lizzie was changed into a giant lizard whose speed is the best of the
three monsters.
Ralph : He was the big sausage king and he was always looking for new ways to
spice up his food. Unfortunately, the additive he used turned him
into a giant wolf. In this form, Ralph is the strongest of the three
monsters.
The main goal of all these monsters is to cause as much destruction and
devastation as possible. To achieve this, the monsters must keep their energy
bar high by partaking of things that restore energy and avoiding those hazards
that will take it away. There are a lot of dangerous things out there. Good
luck and good hunting.
______________________________
/ 6.1 The Controls and Moves /________________________________________________
------------------------------
The controls on this game are pretty easy. It will only take a little practice
in order to become proficient with them. Each monster has their own set of
controls. George's controls are the left, Lizzie's controls are in the middle,
and Ralph's controls are on the right. Regardless of location, all controls
are situated as follows:
- An eight-way joystick
- Jump Button
- Punch Button
_________________________
/ 6.2 The Playing Field /_____________________________________________________
-------------------------
Rampage has a pretty easy playing field. Since all the action is two-
dimensional, it should be relatively easy to see everything that is going on
around you. I have included an example of what the playing screen looks like:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+

_______________
/ 6.3 Scoring /_______________________________________________________________
---------------
Scoring in this game is relatively complicated due to the various numbers of
enemies. In addition, you also score points for hitting buildings and
collecting bonus and/or food items.

+-------------------------------------+-------------+
* YOU WILL ONLY GET THE POINTS IF YOUR MONSTER DESTROYS THE BUILDING.
BUILDINGS DESTROYED BY THINGS OTHER THEN YOUR MONSTER WILL NOT EARN YOU THESE
POINTS.
Games are played until your chosen monster runs out of energy. You can insert
another quarter, and continue your game from where you left off (if the machine
is set up that way). In addition, you can also keep your score (again, if the
machine is set up that way).
Other players can join the game to help or hinder you by inserting their
coin(s) and pressing the appropriate jump button for the character they wish to
play.
No free men are awarded for this game.
______________________________________
/ 6.4 Specific Features of this Game /________________________________________
--------------------------------------
Rampage is unique in the fact that it has many different things that can either
help or hurt your monster. In addition to this, each monster also has an
assigned victim which will be discussed later in this chapter.
+----------------+
| 6.4.1 Enemies |-------------------------------------------------------------
+----------------+
These are the things that will be actively opposing your monster.
Helicopters: This is the air support. They usually swoop in and fire off a
rapid burst causing serious damage. They can also drop bombs
from high altitude.
Lightning: This is just a lazy cloud floating over the city firing off bolts
of lightning at your monster. Causes some serious damage when it
hits.
National Guardsmen: These guys are all over the place. They appear out of the
windows to take pot shots and throw dynamite. Some even
carry demolitions to the base of buildings to destroy them
and hopefully your monster.
Paratrooper: These guys land on buildings and are tasked to defend it at all
costs. That means when you get on said building, they will fire
rapidly at your monster taking out some significant health in the
process.
Police Cars: Like tanks but they move and fire faster then tanks.
Tanks: Heavily armored, these vehicles are slow but they pack quite a punch.
They can knock your monster off buildings and even to the opposite edge
of the screen.
+-------------------+
| 6.4.2 Bad Things |----------------------------------------------------------
+-------------------+
These are things found in the buildings. Grabbing and/or eating them can be
detrimental to your monsters health. This also covers damage that can occur to
your monster not covered in the Enemies chapter.
Bathtub with Person: Some tubs have someone actually taking a bath. Munch
them down quickly or they will use a blast of water from
their tub to knock you off the building.
Cactus: This plant from the arid regions of the world doesn't sit well in your
monster's stomach.
Dynamite: It seems that someone has squirreled away some sticks of dynamite in
the walls of the building. If you find one, jump out of their
quickly or take a hefty amount of damage from the blast.
Light Bulb: Grabbing at it while it is lit up is a bad thing and will shock
your monster.
Neon Sign: Slugging at this can either give you points for breaking it or it
will shock your monster.
Photographer: These guys want a picture of you in your monster glory. You
will encounter them while ravaging buildings. One flash from
their camera and you will be knocked off the building. Eat them
before that happens.
Poison: This is indicated by the "skull and crossbones" icon. Don't grab this
unless you want to see a big decrease in your monster's health.
Television: When the boob-tube is on, don't grab it or be prepared for a
shocking experience. If the TV is off, grab it to collect the
points.
Toaster without Toast: If there isn't toast in the toaster, don't grab at it
or your monster will be shocked in the process.
Toilet and Bathtub: These two bathroom items are not only unsanitary, they
also give no benefits when munched down.
+-----------------------+
| 6.4.3 Healthy Things |------------------------------------------------------
+-----------------------+
These are items that will increase your monster's health.
Bowl of Fruit: These bananas and apples will give your monster a slight health
increase.
Hamburger: These treats are usually found in the middle of the buildings you
are destroying.
Milk: For strong bones and muscles to ravage more cities.
Toast: Found in the toaster. If you are patient, it will pop up for some
health giving relief.
Turkey: Found in windowsills cooling off.
+--------------------+
| 6.4.4 Good Things |---------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------+
These are items that will give you points.
Bag of Loot: Grab this for quick points.
Civilians: Give your monster big points.
Flower Pot: Find these sunflowers and hit them to knock them out of the
buildings and collect the points. Can also be used to take out
enemy units.
Manhole Cover: When the sewer worker pops up, smash the cover. Hit it
multiple times to take out vehicles and air units.
Television: Collect the points when the TV is off by knocking it out of the
building.
Train: You can smash the train back and forth for big points. Use two
monsters to play "train pong".
Safe: Knock it out of the building to break it. Then collect the goodies that
are revealed. This also can be used to take out enemy units.
Vehicles (Civilian and non-Civilian): Smash these for points.
+---------------------------+
| 6.4.5 Designated Victims |--------------------------------------------------
+---------------------------+
These are people that your monster can grab from the windows. While holding a
designated victim, only the National Guardsmen quit firing. The designated
victims are:
The lady in red is George's victim, the guy in the yellow shirt and white
boxers is Lizzie's victim, and the guy in the suit is Ralph's victim.
After you hold your victim for a random period of time, they will do a few
uppercuts to your monster's jaw and force your monster to drop them. You can
then eat them form more points.
________________
/ 6.5 The Days /______________________________________________________________
----------------
In order to access these things, there are 768 days in this game. Fortunately,
you only will have to do 128 days before they repeat themselves again. The
days and specifics about them are discussed later in the chapter.
This chart is a breakdown of how the days are set up. It will include the
number of buildings you need to destroy and any unique features (if any) of the
day plus some of the enemies encountered.

| 7. PLAYING THE GAME |=======================================================
+======================+
You start the game with your monsters at the bottom of the screen. After the
game starts, it is time for you to start the "urban renewal" process.
- After you start, you will start being attacked. There is no real way to
avoid a lot of the attacks by the National Guardsmen due to the sheer volume
of fire they are laying down. Your best bet is to keep moving and make your-
self a hard target to hit.
- To move quickly from building to building, jump toward the building and push
up to grab the building. This enables you to use your monster's ability to
both jump and climb at the same time.
- To relieve some pressure from the National Guardsmen, climb up the buildings
and smash the windows where they pop out from or just eat them when they are
leaning out the window. Move quickly since their buddies are still shooting
or throwing dynamite at your monster.
- Unless you are totally obsessed with points, let the National Guardsmen do
your work for you. A great example of this is that about midway through a
day, a National Guardman will rush out from the side of the screen with
explosives. They will place them at the base of a building. This
demolishes the building and helps you along to the next day.
- Another way to destroy buildings it to weaken it up, then jump on the roof.
Your monster's weight will cause the building to collapse.
- The air units can be rather dangerous. During the beginning days, the heli-
copters will overfly your monster, turn around, and then dive in for the
attack. You can destroy the helicopters when they are coming in to prevent
their attack. Also, when you are moving around, you make it harder for them
to get a bead on your monster.
- During the later days, helicopters will drop bombs. Again, paying attention
to everything that is going on will allow you to easily escape the bomb
being dropped. You can also entice the helicopter to drop a bomb when you
are on top of a building. When the bomb is dropped, jump out of the way and
let the bomb do the damage to the building for you.
- Make sure that you either grab the food or eat the National Guardsmen to
keep your health up. If you can hold out for 128 days, you will get all of
your health restored for that day and days 256, 384, 512, 640, and 768.
Also keep in mind that if you punch too fast, you may end up getting some-
thing that will harm your monster.
- Paratroopers can be a particular pain. If you plan to attack a building
with a Paratrooper unit on it, make sure you quickly scale the building and
eat said unit. It makes life a lot easier since their rapid fire can put a
major hurting on your monster.
- Ground units such as Tanks and Police Cars can be a real nuisance. They
fire some pretty heavy shells which not only cause a lot of damage, but they
also can knock back your monster for quite a distance. There are some ways
to combat these units:
- Climb quickly up a building. When the unit passes below you, jump down
and give it a good punch.
- Time the shots and rush the ground unit in-between shots to get a good
punch in.
- Use available weapons such as manhole covers, flower pots, or safes to
drop on them. These things also allow you to hit them at a distance.
- Be sure and watch what your monster grabs at. There are a lot of hazards in
the buildings and it is pretty bad when your monster buys the farm doing
dumb stuff such as grabbing electrical items such as toasters and light
bulbs.
- In addition to the above, dynamite is sometimes in the middle of buildings.
When uncovered, you have about two to three seconds to get your monster out
of there before they are blown off the building. Eating it will only
decrease your monster's health so run far away when it is uncovered.

| 8. CONCLUSION |=============================================================
+================+
This game was definitely a quarter eater. It was fun to spend hours of mind-
less entertainment just going around and destroying as much as you could.
Without having to deal with bosses or some kind of complicated quest, Rampage
proved its worth time and time again in letting one get out their
"aggressions". Since the premise of the game was simple plus you could
cooperatively play with or against other players, it added a whole new
dimension to the game. I know when this game came out, it was regularly
occupied so it seemed to have been rather popular. Although this game wasn't
very popular, it still was a lot of fun to play. Unfortunately, it is very
rare to find this machine anywhere. However, through the miracle of emulation,
a whole new generation is realizing what we "old" folks enjoyed those many
years ago. In addition, www.shockwave.com is bringing many of these classic
games back. Check out their site to see what ones are there. I hope this
guide helps you in being able to get the most amount of gameplay for this game.
If you do have other ideas or thoughts, please e-mail me and share them. Who
knows, maybe I'll start a Q&A Chapter in this guide if enough people ask the
same questions. Anyway, thank you again for reading this guide.
