- 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.
"You writhe in burning agony as the spider's deadly venom flows through your body."
Jesus, I never remember this game being so dark when I was younger...
+artemis1038 yeah sometimes I would go directly at the spider
METAL.
& people wonder why our generation is so twisted
Stacci Guma ikr lol I loved this game when I was little
@@MakakaOrg since when do ants jump
This game is full of bugs.
Rikard boo
*ba dum Tsssss*
I only like puns when they are horrible like this
too many
InferNity lol it’s a joke don’t you get it? Bugs? As in insects?
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.
Same. Truly terrifying.
Kann ich jetzt gar nicht nachvollziehen… 50 Ameisen zusammenziehen und die Spinne ist tot!
This absolutely traumatized me as a kid too, I developed arachnophobia and I'm pretty sure this had a lot to do with it
HAHA same! As if I needed another reason to hate spiders 😅
The spider only really got to me when it developed lazar eyes.
Widely considered one of the greatest PC games of all time.
(about ants)**
@@femboygorou about this ratio
Until MYST
Indeed, and it was awesome! They need to remake this! The world needs more original, outside-the-box, cool games like this!
Try „The Ants - Underground Kingdom“
I remember seeing this in the store and I thought "Will Wright is a bizarre genius." Then he came out with The Sims less than a decade later and confirmed my opinion.
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.
That's hysterical
Laser-firing?!
No way! Now I have to see if I can download or otherwise get a copy.
@@Tigerman1138 www.freegameempire.com/games/SimAnt-The-Electronic-Ant-Colony
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.
@@Tigerman1138 who are you replying to?
@@mrosskne Are you alright?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hated that spider in the game. Scared the shit out of me when I was playing this game as a kid.
wow, even though this is an older game, it looks awesome!
***** I'm watchin' this video right now and I realize that i'm going through the first in my life clash with such an ass-kicking game of all time..%) Believe me, it really still looks awesome)
Sometimes the oldest are the best. I recently got back into Roller Coaster Tycoon.
@@Tigerman1138 that's' not even that old! rollercoaster tycoon is amazing. same with the original Zoo Tycoon w/ expansion packs. I don't like the new Planet Zoo. It's laggy beyond belief, there's too much going on. I like a minimalistic top-view, not weird 3D rendering at an angle lol
Not only was it awesome, us millennials remember they would let us play this in school. Now that was awesome 😄
very well done for 1991, very cool
One of the few games that materialized in my life and disappeared just as suddenly.
3:04
First glance at what would eventually be The Sims.
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.
I came here just to hear that tune again. It's been stuck in my head my entire life basically
I sometimes have that with Stunts by Broderbund Software! I just NEED to hear the intro music sometimes
are you kidding me a high quality video after 2 years before youtube was born really?
legoalltheway were you even old enough to play this back then
This game was haaaard
LabAccident A little girl doing a review online said it was too easy.
@@Tigerman1138 Nah man this was hard
As a kid I never really got passed the first level...but I loved the hell out of it 8)
OMG. CHILDHOOD MEMORIES!
Hello darkness my old friend...
Holy crap, I haven't played this in years. As soon as I heard the music I began humming it perfectly in tune. Funny how these things stick with you for years in years... :O
I hated that damn spider and that antlion.
same here
I only just discovered this and all I can think is I NEED IT OH LORD IT LOOKS SO GREAT
The 90's were freaking amazing.
That's all I have to say.
2:39 soooooooo close man!
This put such a smile on my face and I never even played sim ant I only saw it at the computer game store (remember when there were stores that sold software and games on CD ROM?) BUT I did have sim city and sim city 2000 and am I the only one who printed out their sim city in 10x10 sheet of paper mosaic and had it on the wall? I remember going into the special creator mode for sim city that let you do everything you wanted without consequence ...MAN Maxis was the shit, that MUSIC
I haven’t seen this game in over 30 years, and yet the thing that still sticks with me to this day is that stupid grunting noise at 5:15
I think this game would still be a hit with modern game mechanics.
I think this game might have influenced my fear of spiders..ahaha
you know you can dig into the red ants' base?
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.
Holy crap, I found it. 😯
Thanks for the video Killerratte. I played this on Super Nintendo when I was a kid.
They need to remake this and update it with people doing molten aluminum nest castings as one of the enemies.
I liked the lazer spider, the random button, and the speech bubble option quote from a larva,"Maybe I'll turn into a butterfly." XD
These old sim games were the greatest thing ever created.
I was cheering for you so hard when you fought that damn spider! As a child, I feared him. As an adult, I fear him.
Also, this game is abandonware now & you can pick it up legally for free at myabandonware.com - run with the DOSBOX Dos emulator. Highly recommended for nostalgia purposes.
is this safe?
It is.
I still have my SNES packed away with this game and Sim Earth. SUCH awesome amounts of time I would spend on those games lol, loved em.
So many memories. I used to go to my grandma’s house all the time when I was a child. She had an older PC with only like 5 games and this one was the best.
One of my favorite games as a kid. The furthest I got was into the house but I never won all the territories
Damn, this game was so amazing! Still is, just played it the other day, working on X-Wing again, as we speak. That spider was one scary S.O.B.
This spider is a tough son of a spider
6:09 I watched the whole video just to watch the spider die =)
One of The PC games that every apple/android APP currently tries to be ... RIP
the music goes hard!
lol, Ski Free.. I can't believe you still remember that game..
I can still recall the days I screamed a lot when I saw the cutie yeti, lol
Thanks for posting this. I can't play it (too new of a computer) but it was great to see the little ants in action again =).
LOL!!!
Yeah, I always loved to be the spider. Dude, you can laser down anything! It actually has lasers!
Anyway, this video reminds me of a sweeet game! I loved SimAnt! I gotta download that and put it on my comp!
Haha! I loved this game!! Spent hours playing it. One trick I learned was to either surround their ant hills with pebbles or block off their entrance with em. Stopped them from getting food early on. Was kind of a dick move.
i remember playing this game when i was like 6 or something... good times ^^
this game...i can't believe i found it again...those awful memories..used to make me scared shitless :(
2 things, one: you can leave a sent trail to the food then run back to base and camp there forever, and two: when putting rocks on the antlion you can drop it directly on it's head to save rocks for say, trapping enemy ants inside their nest :P.
This game was my childhood and had no idea how to play it.
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.
The memories of playing this game just flowed back
Oh man! I remember playing this game...
I was terrible at it, though! I had no idea what i was doing...and all the traumatic ant deaths creeped me out.
THIS GAME! I went to a friends house once and he was plying something on the computer but I only got to see a bit of before we went outside to play. I only remeberd a bit about bugs but never connected it with ants.......for some reason (probably the spider). finally one childhood memory solved
This game brings back sooo many memories. On my old old Macintosh. That computer had some of the best games out there.
This was the best game when I was a kid, I had it for nintendo. Nobody I knew had even heard about it but I played it constantly.. I lost it and I could never find another one. This is the first time I have even seen it again in like 30 yeas
I totally forgot about this game!! This was so my childhood 😂😂😂
Some funky ass music for real....
I love the menus and the music, so nostalgic and idk why but brings me peace, lol
I miss this game, I loved it when the spider began to shot laser beams from its eyes!
Best old times memories! 🥰!
used to love this game!!!
wish someone would make an online version :P
So many good memories from this game.
I swear to god i searched this game for like 3 years! And finally found it again lmao
I remember playing this when I was 4...I was amused yet slightly creeped out by it. :D
Ich hatte ne ziemlich heftige, McGyver-indizierte Ameisenphobie als Kind, dieses Spiel hat mich davon geheilt! Heute halte ich echte Ameisen 😊
I came here by looking up ,,empires of the undergrowth"(another cool,simpler and more modern+modern graphics game about ants)and this seems like a good alternative cuz Im still waiting for the updates to be completed to get something new in that game.This one looks to be a fun game,too...I think my brother may have played this as a kid so I guess he could help me start with it XD
lol, memories. I just remember coming out of my hole and dying to the spider nearly immediately. .....never got pats there, lol. I don't even know if I collected any food - probably not - I just died a lot.
That spider and the ant killers infested my nightmares for years.
The fart bass in this music is out of control and I love it
I loved this game growing up it was the best 😢
This was my jam
Brings back good old memories, to bad i used to suck at it xD
Oh god the spider was horrifying dude.....
I was so terrible at this game, not understanding at all how it really worked. Avoiding the spider or losing a fight against the red ants. Ahh great memories
Very impressive for 1991.
i loved this when i was younger
My favourite Game in my Childhood!
Harsh! They killed the 🕷 and LEFT IT FOR 💀 !!!
Forget the food!
Considering how enraptured I was by this game was when I was a kid, games today must be like heroin to younger minds.
being the spider isnt a glitch its a natural part of the game
you just click on your ant and a list of options should show up. you click on exchange and then find the spider and click on him
Wo thank you:)
I use to love this game as a kid
Hell, yeah.! I loved this game when I was kid!
this game and the original simcity totally got me through elementary/middle school
I wonder if anyone who played this as a kid is really hyped about that group where they pretened to be ants
dude, I loved this game as a kid. I never figured out if carrying a rock actually made me stronger in combat but anyways, yeah.
Awesome game.
I am in love with these older games. This one is cool. I also do not care about the graphics as most people my age would hate to play this game.
I still have this game XD The disk is scratched over years of use but I still have it if I want to play it lol This game actaully motivated will wright or whatever his name was to make the sims..he was curious what it would be like to control humans
Maannnnn this takes me back!
5:03 dont u walk away from me!!!!! lolz great game
I remember this game.. I used to play it all the time when I was little..
The memories of playing this on my Amiga 500
lol best description of video in youtube history
it has been SOOOO long since I've played, one of my faves as a kid. Doesn't the spider eventually have lasers?
I remember this game. I played it as a little kid but I never knew wtf i was supposed to do.
the nostalgia hurts...
Sim and and starcraft consumed so much of my childhood XD
Great game. The Snes port is even better. The only thing worse about the snes version is that the game really should be played with a mouse and keyboard.
Man this music is so funky!
this is a game that deserves a reboot
Empires of the undergrowth.
Is the true successor of this game.
I miss this game so much
