Rampart is a game where you build forts around your castles and cannons using Tetris-like pieces.
You must defend your castles against the grunts that the ships drop off when they reach land.
There are alternating rounds where you shoot the ships and grunts with your cannons,
then you must build and repair forts around your castles and cannons.
I won't be competing because I'm a MARP competitor on this game.
Since not everyone has a trackball, I am allowing both the trackball
and joystick versions of this game for the competition.
I find the joystick version is easier to get higher scores.
Tip - It is easier to build a whole new fort than to try and fit pieces
to repair a broken fort. Sometimes I will destroy my own fort to
build a whole new fort.
Competition Rules:
- You can use the
ramprt2p.zip ROM Rampart (Joystick version) with default MAME settings,
or the
rampart.zip ROM Rampart (Trackball version) with default MAME settings.
Do not use rampartj.zip (Japan version) because it allows extra time for building and repairing.
If you see Japanese writing during the game then you are using the wrong version.
- No continues allowed for this competition.
Rampart allows continues, so only one credit scores are permitted.
- You may begin on any level - Beginnner or Advanced.
- No MAME cheats!
- Last day is Wednesday, September 23rd (11:59:59pm Pacific Daylight Time), 2009.
- High score wins (if tied, winner will be chosen by which player progressed further in the game).
- No savestates, savestate practices, etc during the round.
- MAME INP recordings are optional, but encouraged!
- A screenshot is required to enter a score (press F12 to save screenshot showing your final score) or take a photo of the screen if playing on a real machine.
- If you're a MARP competitor on this title, keep in mind this is just a friendly competition amongst forum members, so maybe you shouldn't enter. However, if you're a forum member and this is a game you're good at and nobody knows about it, this is your time to shine!
