The History of Rampage - 2024 arcade console documentary

[@GD-tt6hl]

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.

[@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.

[@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".

😂 every group of friends has a "bill"

LOL comment of the day

[@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.

[@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]

That is fantastic, thanks for sharing your memoriies

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

[@williamcrowe2576]

Rampage is one of many video games I drew fan art for. For this particular drawing, I incorporated the plots of World Tour and Total Destruction. I also decided to feature not only the monsters but also their human counterparts adding a hint of origin story to each one.

[@exidy-yt]

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.

[@Cameroo]

Brian Colin is a gem and i loved all his games. They really stood out in the 80s and 90s with there huge color character and excellent sprite work. Xenophobe is still one of my all time faves but i really loved Sarge too. All just really excellent games.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

[@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

[@inphanta]

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

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.

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

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 didn't know there was a second game in the series.

I loved the cartoon style of the original and I was getting older for world tour- and taste comes into it- but I never liked the digitized look of later games. Rampage arcade the film, I never knew that existed until now, it looks great except.. if you only need 3 hits to take a building down they missed the point. If you don't feel like there's weight or consequence to where you hit a building who cares how many times you bring one down. Fast paced isn' straight away better. A mix between that and the original would have been Grrreat!

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.

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.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Glad I could help with the little known facts :-)

[@Reality_Checkmate]

Rampage will always be on of the greats. Remember dumping tons of quarters into that one as a kid and playing it into oblivion on NES. Another unique concept that was common then but can never be recreated now. They nailed it the first time and that's that.

[@battlenerd8179]

Loved me some rampage. When I was a 10 yr old gorilla fan this definitely scratched that itch. Congrats on another awesome video.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks a ton, always enjoyed this game

[@animezilla4486]

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

[@BrianColin]

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

[@jamesmoss3424]

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!

[@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....

[@kirkthejerk7258]

Damn, the original game seems to look and play way better than any of the sequels.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

World tour has good gameplay but yes I prefer the original

[@aaronko3480]

I had no idea Rampage ever had a sequel, let alone so many of them.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It's a franchise that's for sure

[@iankempster7007]

This one fizzled pretty quick for me. Great video as always.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Loved this one as a kid.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

So did I

[@capnella]

Terrific job Patman! Great game and awesome video review! The Atari version review was hilarious 😅

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks! 😁 I thought so as well. I mean it's pretty good for a machine from the 70s but still….

[@DarkWizardPrince]

I love this game. I use to love watch people playing it as a kid too.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It's a lot of fun especially in multiplayer mode

[@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

[@Xmahina]

Another great video from my favorite channel!!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Wow, thanks!

[@kerbal666]

I'm so glad you're covering this ❤

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@digitizer3627]

One of my alltime fav arcades❤. I still play this game on emulation with my brother. Thanks for the video and history❤

[@aeiouxs]

Love Rampage! And Betty Veronica, aaah my dream pixellated woman! Working at Scumlabs is 1 step up from being in Finance so can just about forgive her! Thanks Patman!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL, I hear you. Thanks

[@blackflame4506]

Thanks for another solid documentary Patman!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@snifflindrake3283]

I had no idea about the 2600 version. That is actually quite phenomenal! My original intro to video games is on one of those consoles. Later, I remember pining about the arcade, and getting the PC version… I remember it being quite a dog. I know you can laugh at the 2600 version… But that is quite sophisticated for what the game was trying to attempt. The initial PC version I don’t think captured that.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I realize the technology is from the 70s and to get something even resembling rampage on the screen was a big achievement it just didn't feel like rampage to me.

[@lukefrohling]

I laughed at the Will Shít reference. Subscribed :)

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks a ton, welcome aboard

[@77soko77]

I lived on the same block as brian collin in the 90s. He had a whole arcade in his basement and let all the neighborhood kids play anytime we asked. Tron and xenophobe were my favs. He also gave my older brother an arcade game(blasted). It had two guns and you shot bad guys out of brick windows. Tons of fun 🫶 He also set up the best Halloween haunted trail in his backyard every year. Beyond epic!!! Also "general chaos" is sooooo underrated!!! Arch rivals too!! Brian is a stellar human and was one of my favorite people growing up. I dont know if you will see this but thank you for being the absolute best!!! 🙏🫶

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

How cool is that,I knew he was a nice guy but didn't realize he did all that

[@77soko77]

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries ahhh hes such a legend. The absolute best!! Thanks for this doc!! It was amazing and brought me right back to being 8 again. 🫶

[@ThePatente]

The NES version was really nice in my opinion. I didn't knew an Arcade version even exist back then. And over here in Québec, Canada we didn't even know what a "Master System" was. lol Thanks for the memories. My mother was a killer at Rampage World Tour back then, Honestly 🤣 Nice video as always my man.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks, I appreciate that. Like I said, I didn't think the NES version was bad just not as good as the arcade game or the master system port

[@madamedutchess]

King of the of the Monsters... now that's a core memory unlocked. That was one of the first games I owned on the SNES.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Such a classic game, I'm going to have to do a video on that

[@jasonz7788]

Your videos are awesome!! Thanks pacmanqc

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Glad you like them! Thanks a ton
