Okay, I guess.

I bought this game from FuncoLand - or whatever that used game place that doesn't exist anymore was called - for something around 10 bucks. My first thought when playing it was, "Man, these graphics aren't near as good as what I remember from the arcade."

I understandably attibuted this thought to a poor memory combined with a nostalgic feeling that things in my childhood seemed much better than they actually were. But when I saw some old arcade screenshots of the original, the graphics looked truly as wonderful as I remembered. They looked like modern graphics actually. I was surprised. The NES just couldn't duplicate arcade graphics like that. No wonder I thought the NES graphics looked so crummy. They WERE crummy, even if other versions of Rampage looked even worse.

But the NES rampage is the ONLY version without the Wolf guy. What a bummer! That takes away a third of the fun right there.

Still, this game ain't bad to play. Nice and simple and relaxing. Great to play late at night. I played it ALL the way through during the 4th of July, all 128 levels that look exactly the same. (The towns in Hawaii look like the towns in Illinois for instance, but you have to expect that from old games.)

Its not a game you play to see the ending (since the ending is nothing but credits) but its like a handheld slot machine. You do the same thing over and over again for hours just to give your mind a break. You have infinite continues so you can play for as long as you want. Darn, if only the graphics were like the arcade version though.

Hours of fun destruction

This game is a classic. If you collect NES games you have to own this.
