752.0. "Ramparts" by AKOCOA::SALLOWAY (You'll See Perpetual Change) Tue Jun 30 1992 13:23

    This is a game from Jaleco which combines elements of Missile COmmand
    and Tetris, in the world of castles and clipper ships.
    
    You choose a castle and are given a fortress ringing it.  You are given
    3 cannon which must fit inside the fortress.  Ships come along and
    blast your fortress while you shoot the cannons at them, a la missile
    command.  After the barrage, you have to rebuild your fortress with
    preconfigured pieces, like Tetris.  If you don't completely surround
    your castle in the 30 seconds timeframe, you lose.  You try to shore up
    your fortress and surround other castles for more room for more
    cannons.
    
    The two-player version is castle against castle no ships.  The
    instructions are unusually complete and fun  to read.  The sound is
    excellent, with snare drums and human voices hailin 'Cease Fire'.  All in 
    all, this is a very entertaining game.
    
    A Super NES version is promised sometime before the end of the year.
