Game Review (written by Ryanct) Added on: 09/27/2006
Sim Ant is a fun filled game where people get a chance to take command of armies of ants. It isn't too challenging game. The whole point of the game is to try and spread your colony, you are the black ants, through out the yard faster than your computer opponent, which is red. You can either do this by battling or by building new colonies in uninhabited locations. The more ants you have the more food you will have to get.
You have to manage your ants by classes such as: workers, warriors, or gatherers.

around the map eating up your ants. Be careful around them unless you have enough warrior ants to deal with them. Also look out for ant lion dens. If an ant falls in there then it is pretty well dead. When you get inside the house you have to watch out for not only spiders but electrical outlets and poison. If you can manage to get more than half of the house then you will be able to run the people of the house out which means if you own enough of the yard you win the game.
I like to make sure there are no red ants left on the map before the house gets over ran by your ants. The more ants you can get the better your score will be at the end of the game.
The game also lets you just run through a couple of one on one with the red ant. Here you can choose to build barriers of rock in between the red and the black colonies. Or you could create more black ants or red ants, which ever that you want.
The fastest way to win the game is to start by destroying the red ant colonies by yours so you can expand quicker. To eliminate a red base you must destroy the queen. This will cause you to have control of the square and if you have been making breeders then you will be able to make more queens and expand into new territories.
Even though the graphics and the features are not all that great the quality of the game is still good. This game would most likely be played by early teenagers of older children do to the amount of thinking involved in playing the game.

I played this game when I was little, but I couldn't quite figure out how to play it. Now, I relize how little credit I gave it.

This game never grows old. It is simply a great game that is easy to play with an interesting look at the world of ants.

This is a great classic game that I used to pay on super nintendo all the time. It has so many features that new games do not and stays very basic.

Still a fun and addictive game. It was great when it first came out, I was happy to have the opportunity to play it again.

This same is fun for families and teaches kids about how you need to be responsible to build and grow stronger.

I loved this game when I was a kid, it's the reason I found this website. So much control over your colony and you really feel for you’re ant when he gets eaten, killed, squashed. And so satisfying to invade the red ants’ colony. A must play game if you’ve never played.

Great game!

Amazing game. I bought it at a yard sale a few years back and played it for hours on end with my brother. Destroying each red ant's nest was so satisfying. I never did beat it, though.

I loved the early Sim features. Sim Ant & Sim Farm are for sure my favs back in the day!
