  • Die Rainbow Arts Software GmbH war ein 1984 in Gütersloh gegründetes Unternehmen der Computerspielindustrie. Das Studio war sowohl als Entwickler als auch als Publisher tätig und wurde durch die eigenen C64-, Amstrad CPC- und Amiga-Spiele bekannt, darunter die Turrican-Reihe. Als Teil der Rushware-Gruppe war es zeitweise eines der größten deutschen und europäischen Unternehmen im Bereich der Computerspiele. Viele bekannte deutsche Computerspielentwickler arbeiteten in dieser Zeit für oder mit Rainbow Arts zusammen. In den 1990ern verlor das Unternehmen allmählich seine führende Rolle. Mit der Übernahme Rushwares durch den amerikanischen Publisher THQ zum Jahreswechsel 1998/1999 verschwanden schließlich die alten Firmenbezeichnungen aus der Öffentlichkeit. (de)
