Red Rat Software was a Manchester, UK-based video game developer and publisher founded by Charles Partington, Harry Nadler, and Don Rigby that operated between 1985 and 1993.
The company initially focused on developing games for the Atari 8-bit computers. Throughout its operation, Red Rat Software expanded its offerings to include games for other platforms such as the Amiga, Atari ST, and DOS systems.
Some of the notable games developed by Red Rat Software include Panic Express, Crumble's Crisis, Astro-Droid, and Planet Attack, all primarily for the Atari 8-bit.
