Just TRY to categorize Rampart. Is it a puzzle game or is it an action game? Is it a thinking man's game or is it a blast-a-thon? In truth, this is a game that teams those genres into one superb package.

The goal in Rampart is to defend your castle from invading troops. After selecting your castle and placing your cannons, ocean going ships will attempt to land on your shores. You must blast the ships before they land otherwise you will have to contend with the ground troops who will destroy your castle.

The puzzle aspect of Rampart appears when you must rebuild your castle walls. Tetris-like pieces will appear and you must place them so that they mend the castle walls that were bombarded by the invading ships. The problem is that the pieces don't always fit, so you will have to use your noodle to figure out how to surround your castle. Should you fail in this and leave your castle open to invaders, the game will be over.

One thing that made Rampart stand out in the arcade was the fact that some units used a trak-ball. There have been other variations that used joysticks, but I'm guessing this was the last arcade game to ever use a trak-ball. The ball is used to maneuver your cursor around the screen to either aim your cannons at the enemy, rebuild your castle walls, or place new cannons within your castle.
