Overview edit · view history
Rainbird Software was, like its counterpart Firebird Software, a label of Telecomsoft (owned by British Telecom). It was established in 1986 for publishing sophisticated software, primarily developed for the then-new 16-bit machines Amiga and Atari ST: adventures, simulations and strategy games.
Telecomsoft and its labels were sold to MicroProse UK in 1989, which discontinued the labels soon after.
Credited on 32 Games from 1985 to 1991
