If you missed Rampart in its original life, it was a standout strategy title in an arcade scene dominated by actioners, shooters, and fighters. Currently 17 years-old and counting, Rampart is likely the most straightforward tactical game of all time and probably always will be. Playing it is only a matter of building a stronghold on an island shoreline, placing cannons in calculated positions, and firing on a throng of enemy ships at the start of a round. Once that round is over, players must fill in fortress gaps created by hostile cannon balls and repeat so that eventually somebody wins.
