A much more straightforward port of the original arcade game compared to Konami's version.

Prototype Info

Unused Graphics

Rampart was originally going to be published by Tengen, presumably without license from Nintendo; the final release was instead published by Jaleco, though Tengen is still credited on the title screen. Remnants of a "Tengen Presents..." screen can be seen in the CHR data; however, it is largely overwritten by tiles used in the splash screen reading "LICENSED BY NINTENDO OF AMERICA INC".

Directly below it is another overwritten Tengen notice, reading "Tengen And [blank] Present...". As to who the "and" referred to is lost to time; a reasonable guess would be Bitmasters, the developers of this port.

Disabled Menu Option

To do: Should be able to re-enable it with a Game Genie code, but I couldn't get it to work on emulator or on console ([1]).

A third menu option exists, labeled "STUFF". Selecting it takes you to a simple placeholder screen.

This is a leftover from earlier in development, as the dumped prototype has the menu option and placeholder screen enabled and fully functional.
