Rats [SOLD]

[MrBackAlleySka]

Hey guys, lookin for an old game. (it was for windows, probabally the one before windows 95, but it may have been windows 95) It was a game where you had to kill rats and keep them from breeding. (I think they were blue and pink, for male and female respectively) and they'd pop out baby rats once bred. (which were ...I don't remember what color) and if you took too long killing the baby rats, they'd go adult too and be able to breed. I remember you could kill them with poision gas, and I THINK mousetraps and bombs, but I don't remember. It was topdown, and graphics par with minesweeper era windows games. Anyone know this?

The object of the game is to stop the rats in a maze-esque (like a bomberman maze) setting from breeding. There were a variety of ways you could do this - kill all the rats, kill all of one gender (males were little blue ones, females were little pink ones, and when they ran into each other, I believe, they made an even smaller rat that would grow up), sterilize all of one gender or all the remaining...

You had a variety of weapons at your disposal, including bombs that would kill everything in it's path without turning corners (like bomberman, again) or radioactive things that would sterlize the rats in a certain area. Each level gave you a different assortment of weapons, and you had to stop breeding before moving on to the next.

I am almost 100% certain that I played either the full game or a demo of it off of a CD-ROM Today cd that I had when I was younger (either that or Maximum PC), but I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it. It's been driving me crazy! Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
