no clue how it is on other platforms, but I've played the 3-player multiplayer of this on the actual cabinet, in a sweaty convention center, and man was it a blast.
the trackball controls really benefit it, and the gameplay is just fun.

Japanese NES/Famicom Rampart beaten.
La colpa è anche del mio mouse di merda ma è davvero tosto in culo. Valutazione bassa in quanto dimensioni e forma delle mappe spesso e volentieri rendono quasi impossibile riparare le mura del castello
I really like the concept of combining base building with a shooter, or even specifically with Tetris, but this game just didn't manage to nail the execution. It's a bit too simple and repetitive.
As a single player game, Rampart is a bit on the tired and awkward side, taking it in phases to build walls to encircle a castle, placing cannons and raining fire down on attacking pirate ships. Its a bit repetitive and gets old rather fast.
The Multiplayer however is GOLDEN. Just like in the main mode, you'll take phases where you build, equip and fire. Just like the main mode, if you fail to encircle a castle, you're out. In multiplayer this is a total joy to take part in though as all sorts of tactics come into play.
Do you help gang up on somebody, do you take potshots in specific locations or do you skip adding more firepower to enable more room for wall placement. It all adds up in a rather wonderful manner thats well worth playing.

brutal, vile, detestable. need to make everyone else suffer thru this
No the best version of Rampart but functional on the Lynx.
The version I played sadly crashed a lot, but if you're familiar with the arcade everything is there as expected. It plays a little slow on the Lynx, especially when trying to control it.
I recommend going to look for an arcade or decent port before trying this version!

Rampart for the Famicom by Konami is a treat for this 8-bit console. This is not just a simple port of the Atari arcade game but rather an expanded game with various themes and missions to complete. A hidden gem that you should check out.
