Rampage is set over the course of 128 days in cities across North America. Each monster can hold only one type of person: George can hold women, Lizzy can hold men, and Ralph can hold businessmen. When a civilian is present waving their hands at a window signaling for help, a player's points rapidly increase when the person is grabbed. Some items can be both for example, a toaster is dangerous until the toast pops up, and a photographer must be eaten quickly before he dazzles the player's monster with his flash, causing it to fall. Helpful items include food or money, whilst dangerous ones include bombs, electrical appliances, and cigarettes. Smashing open windows generally reveals an item or person of interest, which may be helpful or harmful. If the player continues, the human mutates back into the monster or flies in on a blimp if off-screen, with a full life bar. If a monster takes too much damage, it reverts into a naked human and starts walking off the screen sideways, covering its modesty with its hands (and in this state, can be eaten by another monster). Damage is recovered by eating the various food items such as fruit, roast chicken, or even the soldiers. The player's monster receives damage from enemy bullets, sticks of dynamite, shells, punches from other monsters and falls. The various people can also be punched or grabbed and food items can be eaten.

The Monsters can climb the buildings, punching them to pieces on the way down which will eventually reduce them to rubble. As monsters, they need to raze all buildings in a high-rise city to advance to the next level, eating people and destroying helicopters, tanks, taxis, police cars, boats, and trolleys along the way. When they were humans, George was a normal middle aged man, Lizzie was a young woman, and Ralph was an elderly man. Up to three simultaneous players control the monsters George (a King Kong-like gorilla), Lizzie (a Godzilla-like dinosaur/lizard), or Ralph (a giant werewolf), created from mutated humans. Each round is completed when a particular city is completely reduced to rubble. Players take control of gigantic monsters trying to survive against onslaughts of military forces. Rampage is a 1986 arcade game by Bally Midway. This game can be played also in a versions for Atari 2600, Atari 7800 and NES.
