SimAnt is a quirky classic that holds a special place in my heart. You control a black ant, building your colony, competing with red ants, and even invading a suburban house! It's a surprisingly complex sim with surprising depth - exploring different environments, raising larva, even manipulating spiders. The retro charm might not be for everyone, and it lacks long-term goals, but SimAnt is a fascinating and unique experience.

The concept seems interesting enough but my Arachnophobia stopped me from playing further, I just watched other people play on Youtube

esse jogo não parece mas é muito bom

you play as an ant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!!!! i'm an ant!!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the sort of game you needed thick paperback manuals to play properly

Never figured out how to make any progress, but fun to mess around with.
