James Herbert's The Rats

Overview

Based on the novel by James Herbert, The Rats is a game combining strategy elements and a text adventure as you control various characters in the battle to control and kill a huge swarm of rats overrunning London. If the rats spread further than London into the rest of Britain then it is game over. You start the game as Foskins looking at a map of London with white squares flashing showing reported sightings of rats. Here you can see the report, deploy forces or enable research with Howard.
