The Game That Invented Tower Defence: Rampart!

[@ErokLobotomist]

My friend had the SNES version when we were kids, lots of fun.

This is one of my favorite games. I have been looking for a full arcade of this and gauntlet legends. I found one but it was way too far away.

[@ThanetianGaming]

I imagine somebody has the machines in their garage somewhere!

[@Spartokat]

These streams of retro games are awesome!!

[@ThanetianGaming]

@@Spartokat thank you :)

[@spekenbonen72]

Am I wrong thinking this was also an arcade game??? (I do remember playing this on the Amiga)

[@Mr_LH1980]

It most definitely was, it was 3 player and had 3 track balls.

[@ThanetianGaming]

@@spekenbonen72 it was. Many old games were both for home consoles and money grabbing arcade machines 💰 💰 💰

Amiga flashbacks, thanks for the video. I also miss playing 7 Cities and Empire. OG pirates game, think it was simply called Pirates. The RPG with Lord Britannica, old age prevents the name of the game.

[@ThanetianGaming]

Thanks for watching :) So many classics. I think Pirates is on my list, amongst many others. Ultima perhaps?

[@spekenbonen72]

Ultima!!!!

Unusually I remember the graphics being worse then this. I did have it on the saga master system though so maybe the dos version was better looking

[@ThanetianGaming]

Graphics weren't the Master System's strong point! Being DOS, it's probably a version with the best graphics they had for the game. It was an arcade game too, so it would have been running on some powerful machines for back then.

Boomer lore; Coin Op version could eat college tuition. It used a trackball to move the cursor. Laying new walls induced panic, cause to continue cost a quarter. I just watched you spend a buck. In 80's money that is 3 dollars.

[@ThanetianGaming]

@@Jerimiah10 that's a years' pocket money! I didn't mention it in the video, but that's why the timers are so harsh and on every screen. Anything to be GAME OVER and extract more cash from you.
