Description

"Rampage" is a classic arcade game that was developed by Bally Midway and released in 1986. It was later adapted for various home consoles, including the Atari Lynx, which offered a portable version of this beloved monster-smashing title. In the game, players take control of one of three gigantic monsters—George (a giant ape), Lizzie (a massive lizard), or Ralph (a huge werewolf). The primary objective is to raze cities to the ground by destroying buildings, eating people, and battling military forces that attempt to stop the creatures. As players progress, they move from city to city across the United States, leaving only ruins in their wake.

The Atari Lynx version of "Rampage" retains much of the charm and gameplay mechanics that made the original arcade version a hit. Players can enjoy the game solo or with a friend, thanks to the Lynx's link capabilities, adding a layer of cooperative or competitive play. This adaptation features scaled-down graphics to fit the Lynx’s display capabilities but maintains the distinctive animated style and humor of the arcade classic. Although the Lynx version offered a somewhat smaller roster of monsters and cities due to hardware limitations, it still managed to capture the essential experience of the arcade smash hit, making it a popular choice among Lynx owners looking to unleash some retro-style mayhem in the palm of their hands.
