Description
Ant colony life simulation in which the player guides a queen and her workers. Published by Maxis, released in Japan in 1992. Ant colony management, garden exploration and combat against natural enemies. Japanese version of Maxis' SimAnt on Super Famicom.
A Maxis simulation adapted from the famous software, SimAnt invites you to lead an ant colony, manage foraging, battles against the reds and expansion until you conquer a house. The educational concept and the modelling of insect behaviour stay fascinating and surprisingly deep. The dated interface and a sometimes slow pace demand patience. An instructive curiosity for fans of atypical simulation and the curious about the golden age of Maxis' SimX games.
