  • Yeaaah, this is me playing good old Sim Ant (1991) from Maxis. Im playing a quick game, collect food for the queen, get a bunch of black ants together and finish off the fucking spider. That goddamn spider, back when i was small i had nightmares because of that thing. Its really a scary enemy, its so fast and ugly and thoses noises, yuck. Atleast i kicked his ass with my ant buddies. I thought i was running out of time when i recorded the video so i didnt do a final attack on the red ant queen.
    You can also see some ways of death in this video. What you didn´t see is that you can also die by a lawnmower, in the house you can die by electricity and probably more.

    God, that freaking Spider brings back terrible memories.
    Every time I played this game, I was so afraid of getting eaten by a Spider that I always hid underground or quit the game as soon as I realized I was gonna get eaten.
    That's how much I REALLY didn't want to see or hear about it.

    Oh man I remember this game....
    My favorite tactic was to take small stones and put them on either side of the red queen... Her subjects could never feed her, and the colony dies... lol
    Putting stones on all their nest exits was a good thing too....
    Did you ever see the laser firing spider? When the game thought you were killing the spider too often they armed it.

      Click the download button (or the play now button, both buttons link to the same download), copy the content of the zip file somewhere and play. It runs on DOSbox. By the way, if you alt-tab out of the game and the game runs in a small window, you can make it full screen again by pressing shift-tab-enter. Took me a while to find that out.
      You can also play it in the browser on that site, but then you can't save your game.

    I never understood 90% of the game, but I did know that if you got an expansion colony and then left it, they would annihilate the red ants regardless of how many black ants they had in comparison. I never lost a game that way.
    Also, you can actually set the game so you can play as the spider... cool stuff.

    If you dig down as far as you can go, and excavate a large area completely several levels from the bottom, you find tunnels into the red base, and you can sneak in that way.

    thanks for posting this. The sounds are diffrent than I remember. Were you dying on purpose? you had a lot of deaths. I was a kid when I played and rarely died. Play as the spider move him to the red ants nest and play from there. If your going to fight the reds switch to being a soldier ant! Another secret is going to the bottom of the black nest (not in flood times), secret entrances to the red base. Go alone as a soldier and work your way up the red nest.
