Prices are per version and are not interchangeable, and neither are the reviews: conversions in this era were often built by a different studio than the original, so a score earned on one machine says nothing about how another plays.

The Atari Lynx version

A four-player ComLynx city-smasher that nobody realises supports four players.

Atari published the 1990 Lynx conversion of the arcade monster game, and it is one of the platform's better party titles: up to four linked players wrecking the same skyline. Community lists routinely list it as two-player; the period Lynx FAQ says four, and an independent check agrees.

It was one of the 17 titles Mumin Corporation distributed in Japan. It has never been re-released, so the cartridge is the only way to play this version.

How it was made

Graphics by Susan G. McBride — an Atari Explorer interview of May/June 1992 credits her with Klax, Rampage and Warbirds prior to leading the Batman Returns visuals team.

How the Atari Lynx version differs

Atari's own copy says the Lynx conversion adds a fourth playable monster the arcade game never had: 'Lizzie the Lizard, George the Gorilla, and Ralph the Werewolf are all back plus a new addition to the group, Larry the Lab Rat.' It also supports up to four players over ComLynx (EGM #21, April 1991).

Also on other platforms

Arcade · NES · Genesis / Mega Drive · Master System · Amiga · Atari ST · MS-DOS · Game Boy

Arcade. Bally/Midway's 1986 coin-op has three playable monsters — Lizzie, George and Ralph. The fourth, Larry the Lab Rat, is an addition made for the Atari Lynx conversion and is not in the arcade original.

Worth knowing

The Lynx version has a fourth monster. Lizzie, George and Ralph are the arcade game's three playable monsters. Atari's Lynx copy adds "a new addition to the group, Larry the Lab Rat" — a character that does not exist in the coin-op — and supports up to four players over ComLynx.

Before you buy

An early title, so flat, tabbed and curved-lip shells all exist and the flat first-run version carries a premium price guides do not track. Complete copies run about double loose — the usual Lynx packaging tax.

The Atari 2600 version

A late Activision conversion of the 1986 arcade hit, and one that Computer and Video Games rated well.

Rampage was a 1986 Bally Midway arcade game in which giant monsters wreck cities. Activision brought it to the 2600 in May 1989, years after the console's peak, with Bob Polaro's Bobco doing the work. Little is documented about how much of the arcade game survived the move to a 2600 cartridge.

How it was made

Developed by Bob Polaro's Bobco and published by Activision in May 1989.

Before you buy

Low risk. No fakes are documented. Check the label condition and ask for a working test. Sealed copies sell well above loose ones, so check any seal closely before paying for it.
