Rainbird

Originally they wanted it to be called Bluebird, but instead got the name of the guy who set it up, Tony Rainbird. The brand was mainly to capitalise on the emerging 16bit market, but a number of their titles were converted to the C64 as well, most notably their excellent graphical adventure games, The Pawn, The Guild of Thieves, Jinxter, Myth, Knight Orc, Fish, Corruption and Jewels of Darkness.

Note that the list might not be complete with all the different covers, media types and countries. If you got information about other releases please email me. Especially if you got a good cover scan I am missing. If you got anything for trade that I miss (see checkmarks) please contact me for trade/sale.
