Developed by SEGA, Rampage arrived on the Sega Master System as a platformer. It blends platformer and action elements.

It is part of the Rampage series. The series also appears on other systems with Rampage (NES) and Rampage World Tour (N64). SEGA also made Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Phantasy Star and Hang-On for the Master System.

Rampage supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

Pick it if…

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the Master System hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives

What playing Rampage is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
