Does any one else remember a Jacks game for Win 95 (or maybe 3.1 or something I can't remember). I remember playing this game many moons ago on my old PC which is sadly no longer with me so I can't just grab it from that T_T

I thought it came bundled with Windows but I've been googling for the past 10-15 minutes and can't find anything

This is what I remember the game looking like:

Does anyone else remember this/how awesome it was? Or maybe even can point me to where I can download it? I really want to play it lol

Rampart is the shit, never new it was on PC though.
It was best played in arcade but there are NES and SNES versions. Those are ok

Emulators gogogo, wanna play me 1v1 on ZNES?

BoT, I totally remember Jacks and it was definitely on old windows 93 or something.

PS- Rampart was basically a TBS (turnbased strategy game) but it also had elements of micro and macro because you were on a clock. And the macro strategy also involved puzzle thinking with the pseudo tetris peices. I used to play vs this old guy like every day at this nickel arcade, and then one day I found the game on NES and played it for a week straight.

Rampart was on a number of consoles and even arcade with a trackball and 3-4 players IIRC.

I build a raspberry pi last year and have all the versions on it. It was my favorite game as a kid and rented it a bunch of times because I could never find a place that sold it on NES. Its interesting that its sort of a precursor to one of my favorite games/genres SC/RTS.
