I was just thinking today about how cool a modern open world version of SimAnt would be. Oh well. Edit: Someone posted a link to this but then it got deleted:

  Somebody could still make it. It's not like the concept of ants is copyrighted.

  Hah imagine taking over not just a house but the whole world!

  Plenty of people would want that. I'd buy the game if it got to a working beta.

  Wow, haven't thought about SimAnt in a long time. Loved that game, thanks. And SimTower too.

    Was thinking the same thing about SimAnt. So many wonderful hours absorbed in my world ants.

    SimTower, aka Yoot Tower, is available on the iPad. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yoot-tower/id379197311?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yoot-tower/id379197311?mt=8

    Yellow crazy ant? That's the player ant in game, pretty much!

  I'd be interested in a Sim Cockroach game. I reckon that would be even more fascinating than Sim Ant.
