Antony 'Ratt' Crowther was a designer, programmer and musician of Commodore 64 games during the 1980s, working for Alligata, Gremlin Graphics and later Crowther's own company, Wizard Development.

He gained near mythical status among C64 users in the mid 80s with his highly prolific output, developing complete professional games in only two weeks.

Crowther teamed up with fellow C64 musician, Ben Daglish, forming W.E.M.U.S.I.C., which stood for "We Make Use of Sound In Computers".
