Synopsis

Rampart is a previously unreleased port for the Atari 7800 of the Atari arcade game of the same name. Your goal in the arcade version is to build a castle using pieces to form a wall around your territory. After building your castle, you must place cannons and use them to shoot enemy ships or another player's castle. After each round, you have the opportunity to rebuild your castle before the next round begins.

Unfortunately, the currently available 7800 port of Rampart is in an early state and not complete in terms of gameplay or graphics, which is immediately evident by the lack of a proper title screen. Rampart requires a two-button 7800 joystick. You can select the difficulty and number of players, including single player, two players, team or competition modes. Gameplay involves shooting enemy targets, which appear as "NME" graphics. The left button on the controller turns on your normal weapon. The right fire button will destroy all enemies on screen. If you choose a two-player game (team or competition), both players can shoot at enemy targets. There are several different game environments depending on the game type selected or if you play additional games.

Atari internal notes from 1993 mention that the game is almost finalized, so a more complete version of the game must exist somewhere.
