I messed around with it some today and made it to the sixth map, but I couldn't close it out. This game is tough. Hopefully I can beat it one of these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the old contest thread, but it looks like you didn't post a score that week. https://archive.nes.science/nintendoage-forums/nintendoage.com/forum/messageview0aac.html?catid=31&threadid=145837 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @guillavoie started a thread about keeping them going, but it didn't seem to go anywhere. I like Rampart outside of the fact that I haven't been able to beat it yet. It reminds me of the disaster scenarios from SimCity and that's one of my favorite games. Edited August 9, 2022 by Bearcat-Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks The double sail ships that drop off the soldiers are even worse than the red ones that set your walls on fire. I try to build my walls as small as possible so I can just build around the damage instead of trying to match the pieces to patch the old wall.

Well..... you beat it on "easy," but since this game is so freaking hard, I'd say that's still an accomplishment. Also, I've never seen a game before that makes you die and continue to power up. Seriously, is there a way to get the fast shots without dying? I know in the arcade they would want to entice you to put in another quarter to "get more powerful" but why would they translate that to the home console where you're playing the game for free??? Beating this game even on easy without continuing seems like it would be impossible. Maybe if you owned it and practiced for months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has to be one of the hardest games to beat on "easy", at least that I can think of. I would have liked to have gotten a better score, but I was playing it as safe as possible to make sure I could clear the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
