Shitrats! a game concept

Fluffy Games

Today I was reminded of a game that I sunk far more hours into than I should have, as a teenager.
Rats! by Sean O’Connor (1996, Windows game)
The entire game is simple.
You are an exterminator charged with killing all the rats on a map.
The rats are roaming around the map. They begin as babies, but grow quickly.
Whenever an adult male and an adult female rat meet one another, they immediately copulate (with hilariously over-excited sound effects) and a few seconds later the female rat will produce a baby.

It occurred to me that with all the tools available today, it should be relatively easy to create a fluffy version of the game.

Here’s some gameplay footage

I have not yet downloaded nor tested this file, but I will once I get to my PC, tonight

You may need Dosbox to get it running though.
Or a dedicated win 9x machine.
Like loonies like me got.

That’s a fair point. Wish I’d never gotten rid of my 750mHz Thunderchicken, now.

You can always try running windows 9X on a VM.
bochs
QEMU
virtual pc
virtual box
VMware player

It may run under win 7 or 10, but I wouldn’t count on it.

Virtual PC and VMware player are easiest and free

“Slay” is pretty genius IMO.

I LOVED that game! And the whole concept is indeed PERFECT for fluffies!

If anyone wants to do the coding, I can provide the graphics. And a better explanation of the game’s very simple mechanics too, for those who haven’t played it first hand. :wink:
