Let's see, a bit of thread necromancy here, 13 years later. We were developing translation tools in 1983 and for a while we had the CT terminals as part of our lineup. Rats was so addictive; I hacked into the image files and replaced the big rats with little ones, and the little rats with pixels. It made the game so much more challenging. I discovered that if you navigated yourself to a zone opposite a rat factory but with a wall between you, the rats would still sense you and shoot like crazy, invariably blowing up the factory in the process.
