Not my cup of tea. But the inclusion of online is nice.

Man, I remember wasting hours on Rampart and Joust.

Great choice of download.

Rampart... is that the dirby game at the arcades that had 4 steering wheels?

In the game, the player is in control of a set of castles, which they must defend, by alternately shooting at attacking ships (or other players), and repairing any damage done to them within a time limit. Surrounding his castle is a wall, made up of small blocks, completely surrounding a region of the board. This area is considered the player's territory, and it may contain one or more castles, and any number of cannons. The maintenance of this territory is the primary focus of the game

It was more of a Risk type game. Very fun.
