Important Note: This weeks competition is over and no further scores will be accepted.

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 85 cities for you to totally tr ash. And you can put together one riotous wrecking crew from the likes of George the Ape, Lizzie the Lizard, and Ralph the Wolf.

Hints and Tips

The Manual

As always, you really should read the manual. In case you don't have the manual, AtariAge has a typed copy available online. Here are the hints it provides:

• 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. You'll soon learn that flickering objects, in general, can give you one bad bellyache.
  
• 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.
  
• You'll need to climb on top of the tallest building in order to punch a helicopter.
  
• 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.

It was a good effort, but failed.

Oh, and bonus lives happen at 100,000, NOT 10,000!

Ze_ro, I'm suggesting the Special Rules for RAMPAGE:
You may choose any available character: George, Lizzie or Ralph!
Reason: the character is not specified on Game Mode (DEFAULT).

EDIT: The year of copyright which appear at the top of Rampage opening screen is 1989, NOT 1986.

Argh! Not enough time to play this week. Too busy. I didn't even get to finish the game I was playing either (was still on my first life too).
