Rip-Off is a vector shoot 'em up released in arcades by Cinematronics in 1980. It is the first shoot 'em up arcade game to feature cooperative gameplay and the first game to exhibit "flocking" behavior. The objective is to prevent computer-controlled enemies from stealing eight canisters set in the center of the screen. One or two players control tank-like vehicles while game-controlled "pirate" tanks rush onto the field and attempt to drag the canisters off the edge of the screen. Enemies can be defeated by shooting or colliding with them. The game speed and difficulty increase with each successive wave … More

Fun Arcade Shooter With Cooperative Multiplayer

Look: 6/10 Elaborate enough spaceships, but forgettable indeed!

Sound: 6/10 Nothing special

Play: 7/10 Fun enough single player, but I bet it's a blast with multiplayer! I've always preferred cooperative multiplayer over competitive multiplayer, too. I love the increase in speed, the challenge, etc. Not huge into the controls but they function well enough. I've always been more of a Space Invaders controls guy over Asteroids controls (this has more so Asteroids type controls heh)

Feel: 8/10 Just simply fun! And like I mentioned, I wanna try it again with multiplayer.

Attachment: 8/10 If I return to multiplayer arcade games with a friend, this will likely be on the list!
