I have always been enamored with "social" insects like bees, wasps, and ants. I _loved_ SimAnt as a child.

It also blows my mind that I utterly balk at eating insects but bee vomit is totally cool.



Oh my, I just looked for a screenshot of SimAnt. I remember this game, too! I have played it for some time, too. :)


You can play it in a browser: https://archive.org/details/msdos_SimAnt_-_The_Electronic_An...


Oh cool! I am doing the tutorial and it told me to click on "MAP" which I did, and then nothing happened. :( Any ideas?


Did it say to click on map or Window menu -> map?

Window menu -> MAP, so I assumed it was "MAP". Where is the "Window menu" exactly?


It's at the top of the game window: https://i.imgur.com/xqh2rrY.png


Oh, that! Thank you!


SimAnt and SimEarth were my faves as a kid!
