Copyright/Contact Information +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ======================= (1) Version History ======================= 1.1 (12/11/04) - Added a couple new glitches, thanks to GrimReaperBostock. 1.0 (12/07/04) - First version. I decided to make this since this game doesn't have any guides at all. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ==================== (2) Introduction ==================== Feeling frustrated? Want to cut loose? Then go on a RAMPAGE! Become George the Ape or Lizzie the Lizard. Go from city to city, smashing buildings and punching helicopters. You can cause serious trouble from coast to coast! But it's getting so a monster can't have any good clean fun anymore. There's gunfire, dynamite, poisonous food, rivers - even your fellow monsters may pound on you. So go ahead - stomp L.A. Trash N.Y. When was the last time you got to punch out a skyscraper anyway? (From box) Rampage is a classic NES game that is widely underrated. In this port of the original arcade version, you control one of two monsters and try to destroy all of the United States. As with most of the other Rampage games, there is no save feature, so you're in for a long sitting if you want to beat all 128 levels. Get a friend to help you out or fight him for points in 2-Player mode. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ================ (3) Controls ================ | _____________|_______________________ | _________________________________ | | | | | | | _ | | | | _| |_ Select Start _ _ | | | | |_ _| === === ( ) ( ) | | | | |_| B A | | | |_________________________________| | `-------------------------------------' Control Pad: Use Left and Right to move, and Up and Down to climb buildings. Use the directions to control a punch. A: Punch. Use with Control Pad to punch in different directions. B: Jump. Start: Pause, start game from title. Select: Choose character at the beginning. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ =================== (4) How to Play =================== Characters ------------- When you first start the game you can choose who you want to play as, George or Lizzie. George is a huge King Kong-like gorilla. Lizzie is a mutant lizard. Both of them play exactly the same, so it doesn't matter which one you choose. Also, Lizzie is female and George is male, as you will probably notice when you "die". Objective ------------ The goal of Rampage is to destroy every major city in the US. You have to climb buildings and destroy them all to advance to the next region. When the level starts, you ride in on a blimp. Destroying Buildings ----------------------- If you plan on beating the game, you're going to be doing a lot of this. To punch a building, you must be climbing on it. To do so, walk up to the side and push Up on the Control Pad. You'll start climbing the building. Now you want to punch as many holes as you can by hitting A. Each tile of the building takes 2 hits to be destroyed. When that happens, a black hole will appear and a food item may or may not appear. Feel free to eat it, if it's a safe item (see Food Items section). Now climb a bit higher, and repeat the process. After you have punched holes in one third of the building, it will collapse. You can tell when this is happening by the smoke clouds that will appear at the bottom. When you see them, jump off the building quickly. If you don't, you will fall off the building and take some damage. Special Punching ------------------- If you hold the Control Pad button opposite the direction you are facing, you will punch that way. You can do this to hit a building next to the one you are on. If you hold Up, you will punch, surprisingly enough, up! Holding Down will make you punch forward and down, so you can hit the building you are on. When punching down it sometimes damages the building in a different way than usually, so food will not be able to appear. Health --------- Your character is not invincible, like you might hope. There is a meter at the top of the screen which shows how much energy you have. Enemies or eating a bad food item can lower your health. Eat a good food item to regain some of it (see Food Items section). When you enter a water section, you will slowly lose energy until you get out. Most water is covered by a bridge, but jumping and landing on it will destroy it and leave you underwater. The Enemies -------------- As you're trying to destroy the buildings, you'll meet some resistance from the humans. The enemies (listed in the People section) will shoot at you or throw bombs at you. While it's better to avoid their fire, it is sometimes easier to just let them shoot you. You have as many lives as you want, so it's really not all that big of a deal. When a soldier carrying dynamite walks across the bottom of the screen and drops it by a building, it will blow up and take the building down. You can either use this to your advantage, or try to destroy the building before the dynamite blows up. The Tank and the Police Car are the 2 most annoying enemies. They will rapidly shoot at you, preventing you from doing much. Try to climb a building to get out of their way before they get to you, or take advantage of the Screen Warping glitch detailed in the Glitches section of this guide. Search Bonuses ----------------- Every 7 levels you will enter a special Search Bonus stage. There is one building, and you are supposed to search it for a special food item that will restore all your health. The building doesn't fall down unless you destroy almost every square, by which time you should have found the food. The Map ---------- Since your goal is to take over all of the USA and Canada, there is a map to tell you how far you've gotten. Every few levels you will see the map, and your character will punch a region. It will turn black (sometimes brown, then you must defeat the region twice) meaning that you have destroyed it. You go in a counterclockwise direction around the country, starting and ending in California. Game Over ------------ If you lose all your energy, your character will fall off the building and transform back into their human self. Since they aren't wearing clothes, they'll shyly edge off the screen. If you hit B before they do, you will turn back into the monster and keep your score. If they make it off screen, you still have 5 seconds to hit B. You will lose your score, however. This method of continuing by pressing B is sometimes listed as a cheat, but the manual clearly tells you how to do it. 2-Player Mode ---------------- If you want a second player to join in on the game, simply hit B on the other controller. They will show up as the character that Player 1 didn't pick. You can punch each other and compete for points. If one person dies and transforms into a human, the other can eat them for more points. The game plays exactly like 1 Player mode. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ===================== (5) City List ===================== This is a list of all the cities and their messages. I'm not going to go into detail on each level, since there is little to no difference between levels. If you need help with the game, see the "How to Play" section. California and Illinois are the only regions that don't get destroyed after one round. They will turn brown on the map screen, and after you return and beat them again they will turn black. 001 Day: San Jose - Rampage has 128 days of destruction.

After that, it starts you at level 1 with your old score so you can keep playing, but I doubt you'd want to. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ============== (6) People ============== This section lists all the humans you will encounter and details about them. Boat - This sometimes appears in levels with water. It just moves around waiting for you to eat it. Helicopter with Bomb - This helicopter will fly around a bit, then drop a bomb on you. Dodge it if you want to avoid major damage. Helicopter with Gun - This helicopter will fly around a bit, then shoot at you. They're pretty easy targets if you're going for points. Paratrooper - Occasionally a soldier will parachute down from the top of the screen and land on one of the buildings. He will walk around, and drop bombs on you if you try to climb up on the side he's on. Just eat him if you can get to the top, or destroy the building under him. Person in a Manhole - Sometimes a guy will peak up out of a manhole on the bottom of the screen. Just eat him to get him out of the way. Photographer - These guys can be a pain. After you've punched a hole in a building, watch for one of them to pop out. If you see a white circle, get out of the way quickly. If you don't, he'll take a picture and the flash will knock you off the building. You can eat him after he's taken the picture, or before if you're quick. Police Car - These cars will drive on the screen and shoot at you if you get in front of it. They deal out a lot of damage and keep you cornered on one part of the screen. Either jump on a building to get out of their way, or use the Screen Warping glitch described in the Glitches section. Soldier with Dynamite - These guys sometimes walk on the screen and drop their dynamite at the bottom of a building. If it explodes, it will knock the whole building down. Eat them only after they set it down; eating them with their dynamite will hurt you. Soldier with Grenades - These guys will pop out of windows and throw grenades at you. It's hard to avoid them, so you had best ignore them or eat them. Soldier with Gun - These guys will pop out of windows and shoot at you. It's hard to avoid them, so you had best ignore them or eat them. Storm Cloud - On a few levels, one of these will briefly fly by on the top of the screen. It will shoot little lightning bolts at you. They deal lots of damage, but are pretty easy to avoid. Tank - These tanks will drive on the screen and shoot at you if you get in front of it. They deal out a lot of damage and keep you cornered on one part of the screen. Either jump on a building to get out of their way, or use the Screen Warping glitch described in the Glitches section. Taxi - These harmless cars appear in a few levels. Just punch them to destroy them. Trolley - Some levels have these on the bottom of the screen. Punch them once to make them turn around, and another time to destroy them. They don't harm you, so you can just ignore them unless you want points. Truck - These are harmless, and can be punched for points. Waving Man, Person, Woman - Sometimes you will see one of these people waving out a window like they want help. Punch them to knock them onto the street, then eat them to regain a lot of health. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ================== (7) Food Items ================== You can eat just about anything in this game if it is smaller than you. Some of them increase your health, but others hurt you. Here's a list of all the good food and all the bad food. I can't give you exact values because they change from time to time. Good ------- Boat Coffee Cup Fish Bowl Fruit Bowl Hamburger Melon Money Symbol (Gives points only) Other Player when Human Person in Bathtub Person in Manhole Photographer (Avoid flash) Soldier Turkey Toaster with Toast Waving Man Waving Woman Wine Bad ------- Cactus Dynamite Empty Bathtub Light Bulb when On Skull Soldier with Dynamite Toaster without Toast (Wait until Toast pops out) Toilet Neutral ---------- Candle Flowers (I think that's what they are) Light Bulb when Off Safe +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ =============== (8) Scoring =============== Eating/Destroying buildings, people, or vehicles will boost your score. Here is a list of all their point values: Soldier(without dynamite) ...... 100 Points Make a hole in a building ...... 200 Points Trolley ........................ 300 Points Light Bulb(turned off) ......... 500 Points (??? See Glitches/Errors section) Money Symbol ................... 500 Points Person in a Manhole ............ 500 Points Boat ........................... 1500 Points Police Car ..................... 1500 Points Taxi ........................... 1500 Points Truck .......................... 1500 Points Tank ........................... 2000 Points Helicopter ..................... 3000 Points When you die and turn into a human, you lose all your points if you walk off screen. You can keep them, however, if you push B before you make it to the edge. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ======================= (9) Glitches/Errors ======================= Here are a few mistakes and bugs I've noticed while playing the game: "Peolia" - This is just a misspelling of Peoria, probably due to the whole R and L thing when translating from Japanese to English. "Alubuquerque" - Another typo. Should be Albuquerque. Light Bulb Points - The manual says that if you eat a light bulb when it is off you get 500 points, but I haven't been able to get anything out of them. Screen Warping - If you get shot by a tank or police car near the edge of the screen, you will bounce off the screen and appear on the opposite side. Falling Twice - I'm not positive about how this happens, but I think it has to do with a photographer's flash knocking you off the building at the same time it's collapsing. If this happens, you will fall, then halfway down your character will stop and do the falling motion again. Water Hopping - If you jump right as you fall on water, you will bounce off of it and onto land. Score Weirdness - GrimReaperBostock informed me of this glitch. When you go into a level, do not destroy any buildings. Just walk around and eat people. After several minutes, your score will randomly start increasing and the level will just end, even though there are still buildings. You can even get numbers other than 0 in the ones digit of your score. No Damage Bug - I'm not sure if this is a glitch or if it's intentional, but it is odd. For the first few minutes of playing you will not lose any health, even if you're being heavily attacked. It takes awhile for you to even see any effect of being hurt. GrimReaperBostock suggests that it might be the programmers' way of showing how hard it is to hurt such a large monster, and that they can't just be killed right away. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ====================================== (10) Copyright/Contact Information ====================================== This document is Copyright (C)2004 Revned.
