Rats! is a frantic game of rodent extermination. You must kill all the rats before they have a chance to mate and overrun the maze. To do this you can use bombs, radioactive waste, gas, poison, death rats, blocks, and gender changing chemicals. "Ugh! Rats! They're everywhere" - PC Review "The idea of this fun and somewhat warped game is to kill all the rats before they have a chance to mate and overrun the maze" - Personal Computer World "Try gassing them or bombing them, but whatever you do, don't let them mate or you'll have a plague on your hands!" - PC Answers "Kill all the rats before they have a chance to mate and overrun the maze" - PCW "Rodent-haters of the world, unite! This game pits you against a legion of ever-producing rats -- get 'em before they get you." - Filemine "Rats is a lot of fun and worth the time!"- Lycos Hotfiles For the latest news on all of my games follow @SeansGames on Twitter!
