Rampart is a 1990 video game released by Atari Games and Midway Games that combines the shoot 'em up, strategy, and puzzle genres. It debuted as an arcade game with trackball controls and was ported to home systems. It had a limited US release in October 1990 and a wide release in early 1991. It was distributed in Japan by Namco.
Rampart is considered a precursor to the tower defense genre of the following decade.
