Piranha Software was a short-lived video game publishing label created by Macmillan Publishers in 1986 and closed eighteen months later. In that time it gained a reputation for its unusual output[1] from well known developers such as Don Priestley, Design Design[2] and Delta 4.[3] The majority of their games featured licensed properties[4][5] including the first video game based on the Discworld novels[6] and two games based on the animated television series The Trap Door.
