Partners in Crime
You and your buddy are ready for a little mass destruction. You�ll demolish
buildings, grab and chomp horrified humans, and flatten puny helicopters and
other antagonists who try to stop you.

But you won�t stop at just one town. RAMPAGE has 132 cities for you to totally
trash. And you can put together one riotous wrecking crew from the likes of
George the Ape, Lizzie the Lizard, and Ralph the Wolf.

Getting Started
1. Connect up your video game system according to the manufacturer�s instructions.

2. Plug in your joysticks. For a one-player game, use the left joystick.

3. With the power OFF, insert the RAMPAGE cartridge.

4. Turn the power ON. The RAMPAGE title screen will appear. Press your joystick
button or move the joystick to go to the Monster Selection Screen.

Selecting Your Wrecking Crew
At the Monster Selection Screen, move the joystick up or down to highlight the name
of your favorite monster, then press the joystick button once to select that monster.
In a two-player game, the second player then selects one of the remaining monsters
using the same procedure.

Once your monster has been selected, press the joystick button a second time to start
a one-player game. In a two-player game, the game will start immediately after the
second monster has been selected.

Trashing Cities
You can destroy as many as 132 cities. Your goal is to demolish every building in
each city while trying to avoid enemy fire. As you CLIMB a building, you�ll PUNCH
holes in the walls and GRAB and CHOMP people and other delectables. Keep an eye out
for helicopters, trolleys, boats, police cars, and tanks. A good PUNCH will lay �em
out cold.

Stalking Through the City
To WALK right or left, move the joystick in the direction you want to move.

Scaling Skyscrapers
To CLIMB a building, move RIGHT or LEFT to approach it, then move the joystick UP
to climb. You can also grab onto a building as you jump past it by holding the
joystick up.

Punching
To PUNCH, hold the joystick in the direction you want to punch, then press the left
joystick button.

Chomping
Whenever you PUNCH certain enemies or innocent bystanders, you�ll automatically GOBBLE
them up.

Jumping
To JUMP, simply press the right joystick button with the joystick centered.

Your Energy Level
The DAMAGE BAR directly under your score lets you know how you�re doing.

If you run out of energy completely, you�ll automatically turn into a measly human.
To transform back into a monster, press the joystick button before you exit the screen.
If you have already exited or been eaten, press the joystick button and the Rampage
Blimp will deliver your new monster. You may bring in a new monster and continue
building on your current score two times only.

Playing Tips

Try to eat as much food as possible to keep up your energy level. But beware!
Some delectables-like cactus, toasters, bottles of poison, and TVs (when turned on)
-may give you a bad case of indigestion.

If you�re in a hurry, JUMPING is much faster than WALKING.

To avoid enemy fire from police cars and tanks, try to position your monster behind
each such vehicle and then destroy it with a powerful punch.

In a two-player game, punch the other player�s monster to reduce his remaining
strength, as indicated by his DAMAGE BAR. If he�s transformed into a helpless human,
gobble him up to gain extra strength and bonus points.

Don�t spend too much time in the water. Your strength will drain rapidly.
