Rampart on the Super NES
>>12638689Gem
Rampart is one of those retro games that everyone likes to talk about how it's a classic and all that shit, but no one ever fucking plays because people don't actually want to play it. In fact, MAME had a fatal error in their emulation of Rampart that went undiscovered for fucking ages because no one apparently ever beat level 4 and encountered the crash until Haze ran across the error while streaming the game.
>>12638713Personally, I think Rampart works better as a multiplayer game. It's a shame Midway never released a sequel.

Rampart?
did you say Rampart?
>>12638753Nah. :^)
>>12638689>>12638750Gem. Post more box art gems.
>>12638690fpbp>>12638713>Rampart is one of those retro games that everyone likes to talk about how it's a classic and all that shit, but no one ever fucking plays because people don't actually want to play it.Yeah because it's a multiplayer game people played with their friends and so they have good memories of it. Modern world is all online BS which isn't the same at all. It's still pretty fun to play single player if you're looking for a low-key game with a few puzzly tetris-like elements and simple action.>>12638713>In fact, MAMEI had no idea it was an arcade game. I never saw a Rampart cabinet IRL, only played it on SNES. (There's also an NES port)
The Famicom version (specifically Famicom, the NES version is different) is pretty fun. It’s Japanified and consists of scenarios instead of the same warships every time. The Game Boy version (specifically DMG, GBC version is a different game) is also interesting. It’s closer to the arcade game in terms of gameplay but on land and less coin eating annoying.

Would you suck on a ram's part?

>>12638689NES version is better than snes and arcade. Famicom version is the best of all.
>>12638689Fuck Rampart, this was better
RAMPART, Atari Games, Milpitas, 1990.John Salwitz writes the code that makes castles, cannons, ships, timers, scores, trackballs, self-test and operator settings behave, and he and Dave Ralston shape the rules: build walls fast, place guns, blast, repair, repeat.Dave Ralston gives the game its look - the medieval map, chunky walls, clear icons, menus, lettering and visual rhythm - so three players can read the fight at a glance. Tim Hubberstey, hardware engineer, turns the idea into a dependable arcade board: processors, video, sound, inputs, memory and electrical design built to run all day.Cris Drobny, technician, lives with the prototypes: wiring, EPROMs, sockets, test rigs, monitors, tools, repairs and the last mysterious fault before field test. Brad Fuller and Don Diekneite make the cabinet speak: fanfares, cannon shots, explosions, music cues and stereo sound through arcade speakers.Sam Comstock, Sean Murphy, Will Noble and Nick Stern add artistic support -cleanup, drawings, animation, type, polish and production art. Peter Lipson, Mike Albaugh, Rusty Dawe and Ed Rotberg provide software support: tools, libraries, fixes, reviews and veteran advice when the programmer needs another set of eyes.Chris Downend, Commander, helps steer engineering, schedules, demonstrations and production. Linda Benzler, product manager, explains why operators should buy it: three-player competition, earnings, pricing, sales literature and show demos.Dave Cook, cabinet designer, deals with the object: wood and metal, control-panel spacing, trackball holes, monitor angle, coin door, marquee, service access, shipping strength and factory drawings. Pat McCarthy handles ASIC work, the custom-chip logic that saves board space and makes the electronics practical.Deborah Short, animation artist, and "The Wall Boys" get thanks for extra help. The Wall Boys were in-house players called to pound on Rampart, wreck walls, find bugs and prove the release could survive real hand.
>>12639708fuck you this is rampart thread
>>12639642you just know they were up to no good
>>12638713Does your literally-who youtuber also play Monopoly by himself? Sad really
>>12638750>>12638986kek
>>12638750It was also my first thought.Damn you internet for corrupting my brain.
>>12638689derp?>>12639842auctioning props to myself is a powermove.
>>12639037I played Rampart in an arcade once, on what was surely a Rampart cabinet because they weren't making those many-games-in-one cabinets yet. It was fun
>>12639714Thank you ChatGPT. Please fuck off now.
>>12639842>doesn't know who the more notable MAME devs areI'll bet you're one of those casual fags who thinks MAME devs are retarded because they can't get Model 3 working at full speed and the SuperModel guy is a genius, despite the fact the same guy wrote the code for both SuperModel and MAME's Model 3 emulation.
>>12640263I don't know who any of these people are. My interest is in video games not internet programming celebrity worshipping
>>12638750jej
>>12640282>LOOK HOW IGNORANT I AM!Good for you, but you still haven't posted anything of value in this thread. And being ignorant, you probably won't have anything of value to post. This may come as a shock to you, but the two are often linked.
>>12639146>>12638986Never get gamecube port
>>12640303I'm actually proud of being ignorant on stupid shit like that, yeah.
>>12639714thats cool, all I care about is that the two dudes who made the unlicensed NES masterpiece Krazy Creatures also did the superior NES port of Rampart. mad skill implementing such a fast floodfill algo on the nes
I been designing a rampart-like in my head for half a year. my design is missing something critical and I'm just waiting for my brain to figure it out before I start actual work on it
>>12641361It’s anime tits and gacha mechanics. Happy to help.
>>12641361I'm intrigued. What have you got so far? Explain the concept to me.
JP gameboy rampart?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPTaUT2hG38
>>12640030it's fun that you're seething a little bit over AI. you don't realize it's here to stay and there's nothing you can do about it. vidrel is your face when
>>12641361>waiting for my brain to figure it outthis is where AI can be very helpful. Spell everything out to it and ask it to give you a few different ideas to consider what's missing. This might help to jumpstart your brain into momentum again
>>12642168more like detrimental.>why yes, I'd like to give myself brain damage by offloading important cognitive activity that is actually happening in the background and don't actually need to ask slop.
>>12639037>>12639964I think it was a trackball cabinet, no? I def played it in arcade, it was at my 7-11
>>12642186>give myself brain damage>>he doesn't understand how to use AI effectively>>he has a weak brain and is afraid of the futuremfw
>>12642215>it was a trackball cabinet, noyes
>>12642215I'm not denying it existed, just saying I never saw one personally at any arcade I visited.
>>12638750
>>12642342I know Anon, I was more just trying to jog my own memories of it
