So they had this on NES... but in the small town I grew up they had this and Rampage in arcade form at the Pizza Stop.
And the Pizza Stop is where you went instead of going home, because it was a small town, it was the 80s, and even elementary school kids had next to nothing to worry about.
So you brought a soda so you could have an excuse to be there, and you played Rush'n Attack and Rampage and tried to beat everyone's score in a game that felt pretty real and was difficult and frustrating enough to be challenging fun in the 80s.
And the fact that you start with a knife surrounded by people with guns, well that was just a bonus in the fun challenge department
