George, Lizzie, and Ralph are unleashed and headed for your town!!
And with the ability to have up to three players join the game, it made a great game to play with friends. Rampage's history is not one that involves many arcade sequels, but it's concept and simplistic gameplay has stood the test of time, to the point of a rumored film adaptation. Let's rediscover those creatures that came from Scumlab laboratories and relive the mayhem that North America and the world has suffered over the past 26 years.
Bally Midway released Rampage in 1986. The game story consisted of three characters that had mutated into large creatures. Who new that eating some mega vitamins, taking a dip in a radioactive lake, or eating some bad food could turn you into a monster? But that's what happened to these ordinary people. Experimenting on them at the Scumlabs facilities did not help and when they escaped, it was time for some payback. The objective was to destroy any and all buildings, vehicles, and people in your path. Varies elements within the game could help regain your health, like eating people and food found in buildings. There was also one human that each character could hold for awhile, increasing your score. If your your health was totally lost, your character would transform back into a naked human and carefully walk off screen.
In Nov 2011, the Hollywood Reporter announced that plans for a Rampage movie are underway. New Line Cinema is developing the film with producer John Rickard (Nightmare on Elm Street, Final Destination) attached to the project. New Line Cinema believes that "technology has advanced enough that the possibility exists to make a smartly-budgeted monster movie in the vein and tone of Ghostbusters and Independence Day," according to the report. Early estimates have the film's release in 2013.
