00:00Let's play another classic game, starting with RA. It's time for Rampart!
00:05I've never actually played this game.
00:08Oh, it's a goodie.
00:10Yeah, Rampart is actually really good.
00:12I'm told it's fun.
00:14And it is.
00:17Let's see, uh...
00:19Was it ported to everything?
00:22Let's see, select home castle, let's start over here.
00:29It's kind of like if Tetris was combined with a real-time strategy game.
00:34Which sounds stupid, but it works really well.
00:38Yeah.
00:38It somehow works.
00:40Those two games...
00:42Prepare for battle!
00:43Shouldn't work together at all.
00:45And you have to remember, this was before the days of...
00:50Every single Flash game being, you know, a defend the castle kind of thing.
00:56This was before armor games, basically.
00:58Yes, exactly.
01:00This is sort of the proto-tower defense.
01:03And now comes the great part, where you have to...
01:06Actually fix your castle in the time allotted to you.
01:11Which can be harder than it looks.
01:14So that's the Tetris ball.
01:15Okay.
01:17Yep.
01:17Yeah.
01:23Why did they build those walls like that?
01:27It's just what's available.
01:30We got some blind masons working for you.
01:34Well, it's...
01:35Only the best.
01:36It's the age of pre-fab, you know.
01:38They just dug around and see what they could find.
01:44Fuck you, boats.
01:49No one likes you.
01:50Take that, Spain.
01:53Call yourself an armada, do you?
01:59Nobody...
01:59Oh, wait.
02:00That's the Inquisition.
02:01No, we don't got a line for armada.
02:02Sorry.
02:04Whoops.
02:04Crap.
02:06That was not good.
02:07I'm going to have to, uh...
02:11Come on.
02:13Don't do this to me, game.
02:16There we go.
02:18Maybe if I build my walls really crazy, it'll intimidate the ending.
02:23It'll give them more to blow up.
02:25Exactly.
02:28Play the AI against itself.
02:37Now, does this go on forever?
02:41Well, more or less.
02:44Or until you manage to screw up.
02:47Which I probably will very shortly.
02:51Let's see, uh...
02:53If you don't have a filled-in circle or square or some type of finished geometric object,
03:01then, uh, came over.
03:03Yep.
03:04Came over, man.
03:06Ah, look at that.
03:07I actually made my castle bigger this time.
03:11Miracles do happen.
03:13Yeah, I managed to fulfill the basic goal of the game.
03:15Man, I am so great.
03:26It's been a while, but I think you'd get more cannons if you, uh...
03:30Yep.
03:31Yeah.
03:33Now we have four cannons.
03:35Take this, assholes.
03:38Everyone knows the perfect defense is more and more walls.
03:42And more and more guns.
03:44That's offense.
03:45Offense!
03:46We're talking defense.
03:49There's really only two options in this game.
03:51Guns or walls.
03:53Cannons or walls.
03:54Take your pick.
03:58Blue army conquers.
04:01How exactly I conquered by...
04:05Hiding myself in my keep and basically shooting at everyone drawing near is a different question, I suppose.
04:13Well, uh, I will be leaving Rampart for now, but this is also a game excellent for netplay, so anyone
04:20who wants to challenge me to a bit of Rampart once we have through the, uh, games on the stream,
04:26feel free.
04:28Please.
04:29Don't make me beg.
04:30So, let's move on.
04:30See you then.
04:30Let's see.
04:30Thanks, John.
