Founded as Emergent Software in 1993, Ratbag is based in Adelaide, South Australia. Ratbag's first title Powerslide was released in 1998.
In August 2005, US publisher Midway acquired the privately-held developer in a primarily stock transaction for 418,570 Midway shares. The team was brought in as Midway Australia, with a focus on development of racing games.
Unfortunately, shortly after purchase, Midway closed the studio and terminated the staff after suffering internal financial difficulties. Ratbag ended operation in December of 2005.
