The History of Rampage - 2024 arcade console documentary

When finishing up this video I finally surpassed 80,000 subscribers just wanted to say thanks everyone for all of your continued support.
Rampage is another game that deserves the VIP treatment. The original video I did was six years ago and was only nine minutes long. This one runs at a whopping 43. I hope you all enjoy the history about one of my favorite monster games.

I remember when the arcade installer put this game in, it was brand new. He tested the game and left a zillion credits still in the machine and left. I played the game for the next three hours flipping stage after stage. My hands hurt by the time I gave up, there were still credits in the machine. Great kid memory I played the newest game for free.

[@jamesnoble3502]

Finding free credits on an arcade game for me in the mid-80s when I had no money and my mom thought video games were a waste of money was like finding a winning lottery ticket. Or sometimes you'd see an unused credit on a game and quick jump on it and play it before someone else saw it. Or somebody left a quarter in the coin return slot.

[@ni4ni775]

​@@jamesnoble3502 Same, great memories.

[@jermalshemism3367]

Shit try finding 3 games on p inball

[@Toohotmittens]

Nothing beats being a kid and casually looking under machines for quarters or tokens.

[@bomber83kali]

I remember getting this as a kid. My brother and I played it way past my bedtime that night! It was my favorite NES game for quite some time.

[@fizzyfuzz5878]

It really baffles me to no end they haven't released a new Rampage with online and offline drop in, drop out co-op. Infinite replay value

[@Technomantics]

Seriously.... Make the multiplayer have procedurally generated cities and enemies, different environments and ecosystems and smash away! Rampage: Next Up?!

[@swampdonkey4919]

Would that many people be interested in playing it online, though? I like the game, but there's really not much to it.

[@Tattootin]

Literally came to me as well when he talked about how anyone can drop a quarter and become co-op and whoever died! Or did you just come up with it lol? I totally forgot that f ya didn’t have quarters or a good gameplay you didn’t have much time lol.

[@fizzyfuzz5878]

@@swampdonkey4919 I think so, it's the best thing you can do for a game like that to maximize it's replay value. Just adding the ability to play with faraway friends or randoms online would make me want to pick it up a lot more. The host can set monsters being able to hurt each other or not.

[@TexasHollowEarth]

They could just update the last Rampage game that came out for Wii way back, but minus the trash motion controls. It had somewhere around 40 playable monsters.

[@RAM4elightbars]

I love how much the creator cared about his vision and did the legwork despite the pushback and lack of cooperation. This was one of my favorite games and certainly helped me sort out the jerks in my friend group. "We agreed no attacking each other Bill".

If you were lucky enough to rent a video game as a kid for the weekend, this was one to get. Because it took THE ENTIRE WEEKEND TO BEAT! Loved it.

LOL no kidding. That's pretty much what I did was rent games because they were so darn expensive

[@Wolfanoz]

Brian Colin is legitimately one of the nicest people I’ve met in the industry and it makes it even better he had a large hand in this game, Spy Hunter, Sarge and Blasted. General Chaos on the Sega Genesis as well.

[@tarstarkusz]

Spy hunter was, by far, the best driving game of the 80s. I cannot tell you just how many quarters I fed into Spy Hunter as a teenager in the 80s. It's one of those games that is only good in the arcade. All the home ports suck . Even MAME sucks for Spy Hunter I still remember the first time I heard the Peter Gunn theme and was like, "Hey, I know that! It's Spy Hunter."

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

He has done a ton of classic arcade games, really nice guy

[@patchgatsby9138]

Dang! Those are some great games. I haven't thought about General Chaos in years.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Very cool! He is a very nice guy

[@ethanwilliam9944]

This is an absolute classic and one that I dumped many many quarters into back in the 80s. The first time I played, smashed up the buildings and ate the humans, was an incredible experience and I couldn't get enough. Plus the fact that two others can join in on the madness made it all that much more fun.

[@chrisprescott2273]

I've always loved this game for its art style. I remember seeing this style on a lot of games from that time. I didn't realize it basically all came from one man. Very informative. Rampage will never get old.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks a lot, I agree it's always fun for a little bit of mindless bashing action

[@GCJACK83]

Rampage is a game near and dear to the hearts of myself and my childhood friend. Ages ago, he used to play peewee league hockey, and the hockey rink he played at had a Rampage cabinet on property. Long story short, he and I would always have to play against each other on that cabinet before we left after his hockey games. To this day, we still play a round against each other if we can find a still working cabinet in the wild.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL, sorry about that. I always thought it was Godzilla as well growing up

[@ZombifiedBuizel]

Lizzie was based on Godzilla though. Just as George is King Kong and Ralph is American Werewolf in London. Don't believe me? In Rampage Universal Tour you find Lizzie in Japan, Ralph in London and George in New York.

Wow, I had absolutely NO idea there were so many sequels to one of my favourite arcade bust-ups of time when I was a literal 14 year old boy! Excellent choice for a history of video, I learned a ton from this one. My friends and I did a lot of co-op city smashing back in the day, but of course it always broke down and we'd end up dukeing it out and eating the loser. What a great quarter-sucking idea! 😆 Time to bust out MAME and bless the unlimited quarters. I think ima do a full cycle of cities in memory of old great times.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate that.This game was always fantastic especially in multiplayer mode

[@bland9876]

World Tour is always my choice (I've only played the 3 on the Total Destruction disc) My friend had World tour on the N64 and so I played the bunch with him. He'd get mad at me if I ate a cat and eventually actually puched me IRL.

[@vashstampede5933]

Loved this game. Had it on the C64 and it was on constant rotation, particularly when I had friends over. My parents used to take us to Canvey Island on some weekends in the summer, and it was the only place I ever got to play the arcade version.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Very cool, I liked both 64 versions but preferred the US version

[@retrojoe85]

Hi, new subscriber here! You got me, Rampage was my favourite Master System game back in my childhood (which it was pretty common here in Italy) but not so common as an arcade cabinet: for most of us in Europe (or maybe just in Italy, I don't know), Rampage was just a Master System game. It was another time when informations were few and poor, but at the end I've played all the version of it and personally I think the Master System version, so the version I grew up with, was even better than the arcade original (which it was awesome too). I still play it today, with a Mega Drive (the Genesis in North America) where I mounted a Master System cartridge converter, so I play my childhood cartridge with it. If it only I had more space and money, with good probability I would have choose to get myself an Arcade 1UP machine, which it also features two of my most favourite classics ever, Gauntlet (I can't describe how much I love it) and Defender (I prefer the sequel Stargate, but Defender is still Defender). See you next, beer & cheers from Italy.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Hello and thank you for subscribing. Those little arcade machines from 1up Are extremely cool but even with those I still don't have any space for them. Greetings from the USA. Thanks

Excellent choice and video. My six year old niece LOVES Rampage and always asks me to put it on for her whenever she visits us. I love winding her up by eating her character when they die, especially as she hasn’t quite got the hang of doing it back to me yet. I had the EU version on the C64 as well back in the day but actually thought it was decent enough but that’s me. Anyway, thanks for another great video! 😊

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Growing up I had both versions of rampage. Clearly the European version was first and I played the heck out of it despite its limitations. Once the American version came out that was it for the European version

[@TheLowLevelGamer]

Thank you PatMan! Love it when you go back and do updated videos. LOVE the version differences but also the history of the games as much! Maybe a complete retrospective on Double Dragon in the near future!

Thanks a lot for watching. Some of these old videos were done using a handheld microphone with the limited information. I've also grown a lot as a creator and wanted to give one of my favorite games its rightful place in the sun

[@fredhurst2528]

Rampage was always a great way to recongregate with my buddies at the arcades, due to the co-op simultaneous play. The arcade version felt great to play, the responsiveness made you feel truly in control of your monster, and you owned your mistakes rather than blaming them on the way the game played.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That is pure Grade a gameplay right there. The controls have to feel just right otherwise it's not Any fun. Thanks for sharing

[@sparkster1701]

When I first played Rampage in the arcade, I was instantly hooked. I have a version of it on my parent's Tandy computer and on my NES. I even met Mr. Colin at Corgscon back in 2022, and heard how he got to meet The Rock on the final day of filming the Rampage movie.

[@MushroomHedgehog]

Thanks so much for this. Not only is it a fascinating look into a really underrated arcade classic, but your footage of the game has been very helpful in assembling sprites of the monsters for an app that uses pixel art characters. I’m only able to find sprites that are separated into the torso and limbs, and the head and one arm. It’s difficult to determine how the sprites are assembled without references, and most gameplay footage on here only features George.

I met Mr Collin at my old job working for large retail chain a few years back. He was going to a convention, so he had a ton of prints made up of his artwork at the photolab to autograph and sell them to fans. One of my coworkers waved me over, so I checked it all out before we gave it to him. He had mostly rampage pictures, but was some General Chaos prints in the mix. He came shortly after I came over and we talked briefly. I just assumed he started Rampage in Peoria because Game Refuge was from the Chicagoland area, and he then said the exact line you did to me, "If plays in Peoria, it will play anywhere. " I was like oh, didn't realize that was the reasoning. I just assumed was a fun jab at the locals having the wave of destruction here in the midwest before branching out.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a quarter and I spent an hour or 2 standing there, waiting for someone to plop a quarter into either machine so I could watch. My parents always were angry with me because if I went to a water or amusement park, I'd spend hours in the arcade section just to browse the latest entries.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the smaller 40th anniversary Arcade 1up Defender cabinet before it seemingly disappeared from the internet.... Rampage is one of the games included in it so it's SO much fun to be able to play it and all the other games it came with whenever I want! Two things though.... I laughed out loud at the Clark Griswold reference! And the music in the Nintendo version sounds like the music in the Nintendo version of Paperboy.....

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks, never noticed about the Nintendo music so I will have to check it out

[@jasonz7788]

Your videos are awesome!! Thanks pacmanqc

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Glad you like them! Thanks a ton

[@animezilla4486]

As a person that loves giant monsters I absolutely love the rampage series and I also love the live-action movie as well

Little known Movie Fact: ...they shot a Cameo of me fleeing the toppling Tower (Willis Tower), but just before the Premier, WB execs had them cut 30 minutes from the film; so my cameo ended up on the cutting room floor. The BlueRay disc special version still has my on-set interview tho, so I still point to that. ;)

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Maybe I could include that if I do a rampage 2.0 video, very cool

[@forcedfeedbackclassicgamer5499]

One of the greatest multiplayer arcade titles ever.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It is a lot of fun

[@lukefrohling]

I laughed at the Will Shít reference. Subscribed :)

I play Rampage at the arcade when I was a kid it's excellent and it's still awesome today. 😀👍🎮

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Couldn't agree more!

[@IshtheStomach]

Had this game on Master System. Thank you for the documentary.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Excellent, thank you for watching

[@PANTYEATR1]

Ahhh General Chaos, another one of my faves💪 the Atari 2600 Rampage looks like an angry fetus banging on buildings. Excellent video as usual Patman🏆

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL comment of the day. Thanks buddy

[@CadillacFrank]

"my grandma's bowel movements" 🤣 excellent, as always, especially for the choice descriptions of the bad parts

I remember when this came out in the arcades in 86, it was a huge hit at the time.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes it was, wildly successful

[@SegwayBossk]

I remember getting a Rampage game for the GBC on our first road trip. I also got a Men In Black game for GBC, the little plug in light, and a box of batteries. I was in elementary school and it was my first introduction to Rampage

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I had one of those plug-in lights as well

[@kerbal666]

I'm so glad you're covering this ❤

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@williammcdowell3718]

This was my favorite NES game. I just loved the destruction aspect that no other game captured.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I thought the NES version was pretty good although preferred other versions over

[@TimChuma]

That arcade cabinet is in so many shots in the movie I half expected it to be on the plane!

[@Ruvik2025]

I played this game in the arcades in the 80s when I was a kid, it was one of my favorite and remember always putting quarters in this game and got a bit obessed with it back then. It was great. I never got passed high levels but things changed after 90s. I did enjoy the movie but surprised the plot didn't keep them human.

[@theblueoctopus4494]

8:36 I love that image on the left. The silhouette of the monsters trashing the city at night.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes, absolute love the artwork in this game

[@Bowen_Landry]

I've always thought rampage looked cool to me as a kid....but I've never played one oddly enough. Looks like a really fun series. keep up the great work pat. and as another user said. congrats on reaching the 80k subscriber point.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It is a lot of fun, thanks a lot

[@Merlin-wo1kj]

I remember seeing it for the first time at Aladin's Castle in 1986, I was 8... I still have my Sega Master System copy from Toy's R US, purchased 1988. Now I picked up the Arcade 1up XL MIdway cab to experience the arcade port once again....

[@KristopherBel]

This was one of my all time favorite games and I also played it on arcade at the bowling alley 🎳 Pac-Man tabletop cabinets is what I started on and I've been hooked since.
