Overview
Description

Fortress lets you construct endless, quirky structures and pit them against rivals in a chaotic war that spans from the Stone Age to a futuristic plasma era. Populate your stronghold with humorous Twerp characters, unlock the Wizard's Tower, and enjoy both solo campaigns and head‑to‑head link‑cable battles on the Game Boy Advance. The game blends puzzle‑like building mechanics with strategic combat, offering a variety of historical and sci‑fi weaponry—from dinosaur‑era rocks to pirate cannons and plasma projectiles. With single‑player and multiplayer modes, Fortress delivers fast‑paced, replayable fun for all ages.

Rampart blends classic puzzle building with artillery action. Players assemble their fortress from Tetris‑style blocks, position cannons, and bombard opponents before repairing damage for the next round. The original arcade version offers single‑player and two‑player modes, with later revisions adding three‑player gameplay for even more chaotic fun.
