In the late 1990s and the mid-2000s, arcade games became less famous because of home video game consoles, but Rampart followed the trend and ported the game into the small video game consoles like the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Sega Mega Drive/ Genesis and Game Boy. Did you know that Rampart, widely regarded as the father of the tower defense video game genre, was released in 1990? Atari Games, one of the pioneers of developing video games, released the arcade game Rampart in 1990 and became a hit among arcade goers since it combined two genres of video games into one, with the game featuring both the characteristics of shoot 'em up and puzzle games.
