Rats is a very cute little program, you have male, female, and baby rats running through a pacman-looking type maze, and you must kill them all before you are overrun. You have a window in the upper right hand corner that shows you where the rats actually are, and on the right side you have several weapons to kill them with. There are bombs, [with a 4 second delay] gas, [which they need to breathe for a couple of seconds] stop signs, [which stop them but wear away, radiation, [which sterilizes them] and several other weapons. Personally, I liked the bombs and the gas the best, however, being rats, they have rat holes where you don't expect, and the stop signs are good there.

The game is quite easy, and it made me think of a childrens game, I don't know if it was intended to be or not, but it did. The registered version has 3 more stages and 30 levels. My only complaint about this program is that I think it is a little expensive.
