Looking for old school Rampage knockoffs
I'm old. So I used to play games in an arcade. I loved the monster-destruction of the original Rampage, and I'm trying to find some good steam knockoffs, but I can't find any.

Unfortunately a lot of games have used rampage in their title, so it makes searching for clones problematic.

Any suggestions?

abandons wares maybe ?

amiga and c64 emulator,

as you point out Rampage was both a game and style in arcade age.

but DR. Creep has return and some other but, not sure if its old style you want only,
but thats cult games you looking for, i think.

Drab - Try reading a post before you respond to it.

Iceira - I know about emulators, but I was hoping that someone had made some modern spiritual successors.

I checked out dr creep, but that is not what I'm looking for. I just want to knock over skyscrapers with a giant gorilla.

I read your post where you said searching was problematic.

When I searched, I found all kinds of info about Rampage like games.

Found none on steam from my internets searches, which is why i asked here. It's looking like there are none on steam tho.

Oh well

I also think you looking for something that has been change in the timeline of games , they went from platform to 3D or thirdperson view or isometric view , so the games are there you just dont think they are, plenty of games with smash beat them up, they just dont do platform view because all want 3D view.

and thats action games today. even diablo could be seen as such. but if you go back to that era , gamesyle was such and so many forgot how tired we was of them, so then games devs made something new it was a huge hit ( lotus ) or other car game , see my point here 3D view

you need to like strategic games like silent service or railroad tycoon to even see diffrent playstyle.

this is same as doom clone or look alikes ,
well anyway gl with it.
not sure you can find things like Rampage , it was one of the kind back then. same as Power monger and all the other games in the memory lane here.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately any game with an explosion in it can be called a "destruction game" apparently.

After going through that list there is only one game I found that even came close to looking like rampage but still isn't right: https://store.steampowered.com/app/525620/Octogeddon/

I guess I'm the only one looking for a game like this. Oh well. Thanks for the help guys!

help

My friend told me about a game like this just now. I was googling to find the name of it since he took a minute to get back to me.

It's on Steam and called Terror of Hemasaurus

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
