Rampage – World Tour (N64)

Game Overview

The premise centers around a catastrophic corporate experiment conducted by the nefarious Scumlabs, which transforms ordinary humans into towering, city-smashing monsters. Players can choose from the iconic original trio: George the giant ape, Lizzie the dinosaur, and Ralph the werewolf. Across a sprawling global campaign spanning dozens of international cities and time periods, the core objective remains wonderfully simple: scale buildings, punch windows, smash concrete structures into rubble, and consume anything—or anyone—in sight to maintain health.

While faithfully recreating the arcade experience, the N64 version introduces updated graphics, hidden power-ups, bonus minigames, and chaotic three-player simultaneous multiplayer support. Players must dodge tanks, armed guards, missiles, and police helicopters while competing against each other to score points, destroy landmarks, and bring entire metropolitan skylines crashing to the ground.
