Rampart this Thursday!

IGN reports that Sony is re-releasing arcade classic, Rampart, this Thursday as part of their weekly PlayStation Store update. Originally released in 1990 by Atari in the arcades (and then heavily ported to other systems), the strategy game had you building your castle while trying to destroy the enemy. The game offers four-player online play and leaderboards for the relatively meager price of $4.99. It also supports up to 1080p, but for a 17-year-old game, I'm not really sure how important that is.

It's like Nick said, sometimes 1080p just doesn't really matter ...

Not excited about this game. I'm starving for some good online multiplay but that's what CAC is for. I'm more interested in the PS1 titles coming Thursday, as how much they add will be a nice indicator of how much they plan to add each week beyond their first.

Was there not a 3d version of this in the arcades at one point...was that ever made into a home version? I'm sure I wasted hours at the RPI Pizza shop playing it.
