Yep.. I remember many times buying a C64 game and the screen shots on the back were from the Amiga or something, but they didn't exactly go out of their way to point that out.
The Rampage I remember is the laggy emulation copy that came in some "smiley" toolbar my mum installed on the old windows 98 family computer. I spent hours on that as a kid, I always got blamed for installing games and giving the computer viruses though.
You hit the nail right on the head as to why gamers still love these old arcade ports. I never had a DOS PC, but I did have an NES, and I still love some of the arcade ports on the NES, even though I know that I can easily play the arcade originals.
then again only good games on n64 is golden eye killer instict gold and perfect dark and turok 2 and 3 other that n64 was boring and meh at best now ps1 ps2 gamecube dreamcast srega saturn and psp n gba theres some good systems
what about OOT and Majora's Mask? those were gate games. Banjo Kazooie/Tooie were great games. Pokemon Snap was a great game. Mario Party 1 and 2 were great games. I think there were many great games on the N64.
Back when diferent systems had diferent ports. Its always fascinating going back and comparing each version of the games. Its something that lasted till ps2/gc/xbox era i think.
Have you even used a dos prompt? It will make you wish for bash or zsh. Hell it will make you wish for Temple OS. Post systemd config files actually make sense. And computers don't cost the 10,000 dollars they used to. I will grant you the arcade part though.
EximiusDux Simple drive letters? Simple? Drive letters? You know what is more simple. / not C:\, just /. Even the internet uses the normal slashes, only Windows uses the weird backwards ones. Also the tool names are just as illogical as linux: Print contents of multiple files to screen: Linux: cat Dos: type (cat is short for concatenate, and type makes sense how?) Get Current Directory: Linux: pwd Dos: chdir (print working directory and check directory, both equally complicated) Clear screen: Linux: clear Dos: clr Copy file: Linux: cp Dos: copy Both commands are equally illogical if you ask me. Where bash is miles ahead of Dos or CMD is trying to be productive. In DOS you fuck around with GOTO. Bash has functions, arrays, advanced piping, parallel execution, etc. It's basically a full programming language. The terminal, unlike DOS lets you easily copy, paste, gives you access to millions of colors, doesn't require a mouse to efficiently use, has tons of useful shortcuts, auto completion with tab, a searchable history, aliases, math, and a million other things. People use the GUI on windows because it's a million times faster than CMD. The GUI on Linux is just as good but its command line is actually well written and thus way faster to use.
stonium "..you fuck around with GOTO" LOL I second that... to be honest tho, you *can* use aliases in DOS, you have to use DOSKEY for that. And "cls" for clearing the screen doesn't seem so bad (CLear Screen). But that's just nitpicking, I prefer the Linux shell.
I always remember the awe I felt for the arcade as a child for the exact reasons you're saying. We had a 286 at home and sure I could play Street Fighter or something like it but.. It wasn't the mighty cabinet, with deep thumping bass and heavy controls.
For those of us who didn't play the game it'd be pretty cool if you could show a few screenshots/sound samples comparing the version you're reviewing with those other versions -I know you cannot show the actual arcade one, chill your boats- but you did mention that there are now emulators that play a more faithful version to the original one. That way whenever you do a side by side comparison we could all follow along.
This is one of those games I always love seeing in it's different forms. Have three special carts in my collection. I think the Sega and Nintendo versions for their 8-bit systems where entertaining enough. Each game on the respected hardware played well with a decent depiction of the arcade graphics. The Atari 2600 version though I was quite entertained by! Now as you can think it was rather clunky and simplistic, but it worked! To me it proved, to some extent, that in the right hands the hardware COULD play similar to the arcade. Now I'm not saying it's all that good, heck after a few minutes you want to go back to the NES version. It is, however, a good one for a few minutes well you have that 2600 out ^_^ also Rampage is awesome no matter how simple! Awesome video man, now if I can only fine a copy if this one myself, to add to my RAMPAGE! collection ^_^
I played this port of Rampage for many, many hours on an IBM XT. My father had to upgrade the computer to have 512k of RAM before it would work. One quirk that I recall: helicopters would not explode when they were facing forward, but if struck when in that position they would explode as soon as they changed position. Each hit to a helicopter in the state would also award points, allowing for inflation of the score.
I believe that this, to date, is the only game series ever made that explicitly allows you to play in some version (albeit primitive) of my hometown at 2:27.
My best memory is definitely A-Train. I sunk so many hours into that game, and only decades later did I really even master the game itself. A-Train 8 more recently was pretty decent, but that old original MS-DOS version has so much nostalgia.
Thanks for another amazing review Looking back to the late 80s and early 90s out of all of the games the only arcade conversions we had was Outrun and Altered Beast , Outrun was amazing , altered beast not soo much lol. in fact I never knew that Outrun was from the arcade I only ever remembered the PC version till I found it on Mame one day lol later on we got Mortal Kombat, and that was a arcade perfect port for the PC it was amazing !!
I actually found Rampage on a BBS. Cracked, apparently. I had no idea it was a commercial game, though it was suspiciously good for a shareware. Thanks for conforming that it's super hard and I wasn't just a moron
I feel the same way about old Game Boy games. I like playing a version of a game on a weaker system, and seeing what gets cut and what remains. It's almost minimalistic, seeing what core elements make it through each version, to define the game.
The thing you said at the endo of the video, well, I feel the same toward my Commodore 64. Looking how they tried to convert arcade games on that great but less powerful platform is something that still amazes me to this day
I remember a copy of this being in our "data lab" in high school. Played it and Blockout nonstop. Thats probably why I never learned anything about compculator machines.
I had this exact version, and I loved the hell out of it! I believe it was on my Tandy 1000, but the memory is not clear. I would play this game long into the middle of the night, with the lights out in the living room, so my parents would not realize I was still up.
I feel you bro. In my case I got the Simpsons Arcade in my home PC and next thing I know my friends and cousins would come frequently to play it with me, back then not anyone had a PC in their homes, and it was quite an event.
Reminds cartoon "Wreck It, Ralph", especially when I saw the same name of the monster here. Interesting, by this game, creators of the cartoon, was inspired)
I remember loving Rampage in the arcades. It was so much fun. I never had the DOS version though I think there was a version on some console that I played as well. I could be remembering wrong. Speaking of DOS games of great arcade titles did you ever get to play the DOS port of Ninja Gaiden? I loved that game when I was a kid. I played it so much. That first boss always kicked my seven year old butt.
I played this for the first time on Atari 65XE and a few years later on Amiga. I've head no idea it was originally an arcade as I never saw one of those in Poland (Rampage that is, not arcades). Internet? Back then there's was no internet at all!
Would love to play Larry 3 on an old Victor computer which my dad had in the early 90s. It was Amazing! to see that a computer could generate that kind of graphic and sound (ofcourse I had no idea how accomplish the game). So I understand the feeling you are describing.
I know Final fight for the snes was good...but I think the first modern arcade game to have the closest home port was SFII for the SNES. Thats the first game that "WOWed" me and made me feel I was playing in the arcade.
I played these kind of games back in the day on my 386 pc, so the EGA graphics and the PC beeper really have that nostalgic trigger. But looking back these games were soooo much better on the C64, Amiga and Atari ST.
loved this game as a kid, and as a adult i was able to play with my 4 year old neice and not really get frustrated playing cuz it was easy for her to learn what to do
I played it to the death on my C64-II. A conjunction of joy ports I and II meant a double fun for you and your brother/sister or a friend/girlfriend in laying out destruction to the cities. Choppers where a real pain in the bacon, but eating people looking out of the windows really compensated for that. Unless you caught an electric circuit in your paw. Ouch! Shit happens. Awesome game which I will remember forever. Nostalgia RuleZ.
The only Rampage game I've played was one for the the Gameboy Colour, "Rampage - World Tour". I remember being determined once to complete it and must've played through about 40 levels before the batteries died in my Gameboy. No saves and apparently there's 130 levels.
This is another thing that makes pinball extra special compared to arcade video games. Computers can't perfectly emulate the experience playing a real pinball machine gives you, at least not yet. Games like The Pinball Arcade are great fun, but I always have a much better time playing the real thing. You still have to go out looking for games to play, which is just a blast. Same with owning a pin. There's nothing quite like having a real pin in your home that you can open up and fix, tweak, and mod to exactly your liking. Working on a game is about as fun as playing it! Just out of curiosity, have you ever considered buying a pin?
I loved Rampage on my brand new Game Boy Color as it was my first time with the game. I think that this kind of game is actually much more enjoyable on the go versus a home device (computer or console) and never really enjoyed those ports as much.
Hello from the flipside of 2018 where Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Rampage adaptation ignored all things Rampage game Except the title of the video game itself.
I remember this game from about 1992 watching my cousin play it on his Atari - he wouldn't let me play it the bugger. I don't think I've played it to this day and it's one of those games on my list but I need to find a way to play it!!!
I loved the heck out of this game on the Tandy 1000. Still have the 3 1/4" floppy, with a version 1.1 sticker over whatever was originally on the label (1.0 I'd assume) sitting here. :) Just the disc though. (So... yea, it did come with a 3 1/4" disc. Blue case too.)
Never said that the game didn't come with a 3.5" _ever,_ just that my version I was showing there only ever had a 5.25" disk :) It is labeled as such on the side of the box!
Odd. Because, playing it on the Tandy, we had to use the 5 1/4" version as well. I know we didn't buy two copies. Guess they sold a version with just one disc, and a version with both. Probably isn't that uncommon.
Have you ever explained why a home computer could not deliver the same as a arcade cabinet? I get that it is the hardware but i always found it odd that a "powerful" computer at home could not deliver the same as what i used to think was a simplified play system inside a cabinet. I would like to see that in a vid someday if possible.
It basically comes down to arcade machines having dedicated chips to do a specific task, in this case playing that one game, whereas home computers took a more broad approach and could be used for everything from word processing to chess. Computers had to get a lot more powerful before they could properly emulate all that dedicated gaming hardware in an arcade machine!
I played rampage 64 as a kid. From what I remember it was amazing. Amazing enough to remember it I suppose. Looking it up now. Was it rampage world tour or something else. I don't remember, but I remember that name and I remember the carnage.

I always liked the N64 Rampage the best, was totally what got me into the series.
Same here! Coming from that, I could never get into the first; not that I dislike it, but the sequel improved on _so_ much in my eyes.
*You never knew If you can trust the screenshots on the back of the box*
wow what a time that must have been huh?
Nowadays at least games cover up their lies with stickers.
Yep.. I remember many times buying a C64 game and the screen shots on the back were from the Amiga or something, but they didn't exactly go out of their way to point that out.
TotalBiscuit's eyeballs would fly across the room from the massive aneurysm caused by doing a Nintendo/C64/Amiga/DOS port report.
The Rampage I remember is the laggy emulation copy that came in some "smiley" toolbar my mum installed on the old windows 98 family computer. I spent hours on that as a kid, I always got blamed for installing games and giving the computer viruses though.
great video as usual Sir Clint! Glad someone else has so much love for old computer games!
Thank you, I'm glad the love is appreciated :)
I still love Rampage. Was one of my first games on the Sega Mastersystem.
Wow! I just showed Rampage to my 4-year old son yesterday for theirs time. It was one if the earliest arcade game I played as a kid. Love it.
2:05 i shed a tear
what was that all about
watch his Sims 4 stuff pack reviews
So this is where Wreck-It Ralph came from ;)
this and Wrecking Crew
miss MS DOS sometimes
and a little bit of donkey kong.
Oh my god you're right
damn zoomer dont even know rampage, smh
The N64 sequel was one of my favorite games as a kid. Some real nostalgia there.
The anecdote about the internet of yesteryear was a nice reminder how good we have it today.
I can’t believe they’re making a movie based on this game, the world is weird
The last minute of this video is among the best of your work. So good.
Cool vid as always :)
Thanks!
LEGO ISLAND!! IS THIS A SIGN!!
Oh yes. Be sure to come back next week!
You hit the nail right on the head as to why gamers still love these old arcade ports. I never had a DOS PC, but I did have an NES, and I still love some of the arcade ports on the NES, even though I know that I can easily play the arcade originals.
I have fond memories of playing the version on the N64.
n64 version is whack compaired to nes genesis and pc ms dos versions
then again only good games on n64 is golden eye killer instict gold and perfect dark and turok 2 and 3 other that n64 was boring and meh at best now ps1 ps2 gamecube dreamcast srega saturn and psp n gba theres some good systems
what about OOT and Majora's Mask? those were gate games. Banjo Kazooie/Tooie were great games. Pokemon Snap was a great game. Mario Party 1 and 2 were great games. I think there were many great games on the N64.
all thoose suck
only good zeldas are on snes nes and gb and gba
Clint, you ARE a 10-year old. Just like the rest of us.
mmmmmm retro DOS goodness. reminds me of going to my friend's house and watching him game
Back when diferent systems had diferent ports. Its always fascinating going back and comparing each version of the games. Its something that lasted till ps2/gc/xbox era i think.
6:15 Not sure if you're describing DOS in 1988 or Linux in 2016... :P
Have you even used a dos prompt?
It will make you wish for bash or zsh. Hell it will make you wish for Temple OS. Post systemd config files actually make sense. And computers don't cost the 10,000 dollars they used to. I will grant you the arcade part though.
as a linux enthusiast, this comment made my day :D
EximiusDux
Simple drive letters? Simple? Drive letters? You know what is more simple. / not C:\, just /. Even the internet uses the normal slashes, only Windows uses the weird backwards ones.
Also the tool names are just as illogical as linux:
Print contents of multiple files to screen:
Linux: cat Dos: type
(cat is short for concatenate, and type makes sense how?)
Get Current Directory:
Linux: pwd Dos: chdir (print working directory and check directory, both equally complicated)
Clear screen:
Linux: clear Dos: clr
Copy file:
Linux: cp Dos: copy
Both commands are equally illogical if you ask me. Where bash is miles ahead of Dos or CMD is trying to be productive. In DOS you fuck around with GOTO. Bash has functions, arrays, advanced piping, parallel execution, etc. It's basically a full programming language.
The terminal, unlike DOS lets you easily copy, paste, gives you access to millions of colors, doesn't require a mouse to efficiently use, has tons of useful shortcuts, auto completion with tab, a searchable history, aliases, math, and a million other things.

"A modern Linux shell is more advanced"
Yes, I agree, now go read the original comment.
stonium "..you fuck around with GOTO" LOL I second that... to be honest tho, you *can* use aliases in DOS, you have to use DOSKEY for that. And "cls" for clearing the screen doesn't seem so bad (CLear Screen). But that's just nitpicking, I prefer the Linux shell.
I used to play this in CGA a lot, and still couldn't resist poking a quarter in the arcade version when I'd see it.
i love you MSDOS. i need you in my life to this day.
I always remember the awe I felt for the arcade as a child for the exact reasons you're saying. We had a 286 at home and sure I could play Street Fighter or something like it but.. It wasn't the mighty cabinet, with deep thumping bass and heavy controls.

I actually _did_ show the original arcade game, right at the beginning section of the video ;)
Wow, I'm blind. Thanks, Clint!

Awesome video man, now if I can only fine a copy if this one myself, to add to my RAMPAGE! collection ^_^
love your voice its so soothing, and helps me both relax and study, thank you.
Bought this game for the Commodore C-64 at a flea market in 1990 - if my memory serves me well.
4:24 Wow.. the building collapsing sound immediately flashes me back to the first duke nukem.
I met the guy who did the sprites/artwork for the arcade version. Really nice guy.
Thanks Clint for bringing back good memories while playing this game as a kid :)
Rampage for the gamecube was my favorite game to play with my dad when we were younger.
I remember how those turquoise skies always make me cry .... so I turn down the contrast n bright
I played this port of Rampage for many, many hours on an IBM XT. My father had to upgrade the computer to have 512k of RAM before it would work.
One quirk that I recall: helicopters would not explode when they were facing forward, but if struck when in that position they would explode as soon as they changed position. Each hit to a helicopter in the state would also award points, allowing for inflation of the score.

I was literally just wondering this the other day. Thanks
Thanks for another amazing review
Looking back to the late 80s and early 90s out of all of the games the only arcade conversions we had was Outrun and Altered Beast , Outrun was amazing , altered beast not soo much lol.
in fact I never knew that Outrun was from the arcade I only ever remembered the PC version till I found it on Mame one day lol
later on we got Mortal Kombat, and that was a arcade perfect port for the PC it was amazing !!
Nostalgia! I spent countless hours playing this port. Haven't played it in years though.
I've played the DOS version and never knew there was an arcade version.
I was playing it together with my cousin and my brother on a 8088 PC with 84 keys keyboard! 6 hands on deck! Great times.
Rampage through time was a major party favorite when I was a kid. Need to find some way to play it again with people.
This needs to be on Steam. It is a wonderful childhood memory of mine.
5:40
That transition reminds me of old school Tarantino, I like it!
I remember playing this on c64. Nice review
I actually found Rampage on a BBS. Cracked, apparently. I had no idea it was a commercial game, though it was suspiciously good for a shareware. Thanks for conforming that it's super hard and I wasn't just a moron
I feel the same way about old Game Boy games. I like playing a version of a game on a weaker system, and seeing what gets cut and what remains. It's almost minimalistic, seeing what core elements make it through each version, to define the game.
In my opinion Rampage 2: Universal Tour on the N64 is THE definitive Rampage game, it has so many damn levels, 6 monsters, and an awesome soundtrack.
The Amstrad CPC 464 version/port if Rampage was excellent. Many hours spent as a kid...
*of (sorry 😕)
The thing you said at the endo of the video, well, I feel the same toward my Commodore 64. Looking how they tried to convert arcade games on that great but less powerful platform is something that still amazes me to this day
I remember a copy of this being in our "data lab" in high school. Played it and Blockout nonstop. Thats probably why I never learned anything about compculator machines.
lovin the box art
I remember playing this on my dad's Atari Lynx way back. I think we still have it somewhere.
I had this exact version, and I loved the hell out of it! I believe it was on my Tandy 1000, but the memory is not clear. I would play this game long into the middle of the night, with the lights out in the living room, so my parents would not realize I was still up.
That boxart is amazing
Rampage: World Tour for the PS1 was the first video game I ever played. Love it to death.
I feel you bro. In my case I got the Simpsons Arcade in my home PC and next thing I know my friends and cousins would come frequently to play it with me, back then not anyone had a PC in their homes, and it was quite an event.
Didnt they make an PC port of Rampage: World Tour. an favorite on the N64 of mine
Yep, I own a boxed copy myself.
is it any good?
it's damn good. At least my nostalgia glasses say so.
Hey Clint why don't u do a mafia 1 review since mafia 3 is out
I'd planned to, but time ran out due to so many other things going on right now, so I've been covering some smaller games this month instead.
Lazy Game Reviews maybe cover mob related games? That'd be interesting. Maybe the lesser known ones
I really enjoyed Rampage on the N64! One of my favorite versions for sure.
Rampage World Tour is probably my favorite of the series! Played it a ton on every system I could get it for, including PC :)
Reminds cartoon "Wreck It, Ralph", especially when I saw the same name of the monster here. Interesting, by this game, creators of the cartoon, was inspired)
I remember loving Rampage in the arcades. It was so much fun. I never had the DOS version though I think there was a version on some console that I played as well. I could be remembering wrong.

As a kid, I had a version of this running in QBasic, not my own creation, but it was playable
Would love to play Larry 3 on an old Victor computer which my dad had in the early 90s. It was Amazing! to see that a computer could generate that kind of graphic and sound (ofcourse I had no idea how accomplish the game). So I understand the feeling you are describing.

I had this for the NES. It worked great there. It ran smooth and it looked great.
You should make a video on Klik & Play released in 1994
I played these kind of games back in the day on my 386 pc, so the EGA graphics and the PC beeper really have that nostalgic trigger. But looking back these games were soooo much better on the C64, Amiga and Atari ST.

Never played the original, I do remember playing "World Tour" for the PS1 way back when. Good times.
Nice seeing a little piece of history though.
I played it to the death on my C64-II.
A conjunction of joy ports I and II meant a double fun for you and your brother/sister or a friend/girlfriend in laying out destruction to the cities.
Choppers where a real pain in the bacon, but eating people looking out of the windows really compensated for that. Unless you caught an electric circuit in your paw. Ouch! Shit happens.
Awesome game which I will remember forever.

I had a Rampage and Gauntlet arcade cabinet in my apartment when I was a youngin. I wish I had held onto them but they weighed a crap ton
LGR... I LOVE YOUUUUUU
thanks Clint...love ya man!
Downloaded this port today gonna play on my 286 looks nuts! :p
Not sure if they still do but Midway used to have Rampage free to play on their website. I used to play it all the time

Clint, do you have an online list of all the game boxes you have?
Yep!
drive.google.com/open?id=1Xj8e7EPKP1jSwOVi5jIcezhjnyj5tLjungfyysKjIy4
I don't know what it is but Clint's soft voice and his calm, chilled style of videos makes me super relaxed whenever I watch LGR - it's pretty cool.
Everything you said is how I felt about the ZX Spectrum version :)
Ralph!
Nice Lego Island tease!

oooooooo
I loved Rampage on my brand new Game Boy Color as it was my first time with the game.
I think that this kind of game is actually much more enjoyable on the go versus a home device (computer or console) and never really enjoyed those ports as much.
I used to play this on C64 as a kid. It was ridiculously hard.
Hello from the flipside of 2018 where Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Rampage adaptation ignored all things Rampage game Except the title of the video game itself.
Stephen Atwood and the characters
I remember this game from about 1992 watching my cousin play it on his Atari - he wouldn't let me play it the bugger. I don't think I've played it to this day and it's one of those games on my list but I need to find a way to play it!!!
I Loved this game Man!!!! Went to the mall on Saturdays and played all day on 5 bucks!!! It was the 80's lol
Remarkably, I own the Sega Master System port of this, red box and all. It is some good two-player action.
I loved the heck out of this game on the Tandy 1000. Still have the 3 1/4" floppy, with a version 1.1 sticker over whatever was originally on the label (1.0 I'd assume) sitting here. :) Just the disc though. (So... yea, it did come with a 3 1/4" disc. Blue case too.)

Aha, didnt know the hardware was so spesialised back then. Thanks.
I played this on an Apple IIc w/ black and white monitor. Good times. :)
I played rampage 64 as a kid. From what I remember it was amazing. Amazing enough to remember it I suppose.
Looking it up now. Was it rampage world tour or something else. I don't remember, but I remember that name and I remember the carnage.
Was my favorite arcade game on xbox
I wish it was on PC now!!! I loved this game..
truly interesting. Have you tried the CGA version, must for laughs?
Certainly have! It's CGA, pretty much what one would expect :)
Go figure :) Even with it faults, looks like a good effort anyway.
I see 'Rogue Spear' ahhh the days of THE best Rainbow 6 games.
Rod Land is a good one (on the Amiga anyway :)).
I used to play this on Shockwave.com years ago. Fun game but I could never beat it. I loved Rampage world tour as well
yeah..... i can play this and the world tour arcade with the game of Rampage Total Destruction which is REALLY FUN
