  I know it's kind of strange to follow up one's own posting, but I
thought my further adventures with "Rampage" might be of interest.
Fortunately, I didn't have to go back to Activision with my copy of the
game. I took it back to the store where I bought it (Electronics
Boutique) and explained the situation to the person working there. He
took the disk and tried it in one of their demo machines, confirming my
results. So he got me another copy. We tried that one before I left the
store, and on three out of four tries, it displayed the title screen and
then reported a parity error. Electronics Boutique cheerfully refunded
my money, and I'm going to wait until a future release of the game.
