Rampage - 1988 - MS-DOS Game Review

[@Daud76]

As a kid, I played this game often. Humans never tasted so good as they did when grabbed from buildings. 😄 Thank you for uploading!

[@msdosgamereviews]

Glad you enjoyed it

It's kind of amusing how the wolfman's in-game proportions make him look more like a giant hamster. Oh, and yes, eating people recovers health.

[@msdosgamereviews]

I was watching the health meter on the video replay, and did not see it increase. There must not be much health in a human. I guess with a little practice dodging bullets would get me less damaged.

[@Bicornis]

@@msdosgamereviews I think it was because you were getting shot at at the same time, so the attacks were taking away health faster than the eating could restore it.

Saw it on some emulator (MAME?) back in 2002. Never before thought arcade machines were so advanced in 80s.

[@msdosgamereviews]

The arcade machines of the 80's were purpose-built to play games, and it took a long time for the PC to catch up.

That's a weird glitch, I've never seen that one before. You can actually redefine the keys if you press Enter when the control method selector is on Keyboard. That said, having 3 players on the keyboard is really pushing it, and the defaults are pretty much optimal already.

[@msdosgamereviews]

I tried to redefine the keys for player 1, but it seems that there is a limited selection of keys that you can pick from...

[@shdon]

@@msdosgamereviews I think it's mostly that they can't conflict, as there are keyboard configurations for 3 players. If you want to use a key used by either of the other 2, you first have to move it "out of the way" there?

[@BingleBangleBungle]

I remember this game because of that bug 😂

[@msdosgamereviews]

Yeah, it looks like the bounds checking on the ground was not quite robust.
