We can't "make" a new version of this game. Abandonia is not this game's developer. However... read on.  But that is not actually a problem - there's a way to run this game on your system with no need for such a version. The answer, my friend, is DOSBox. The way this works is: * DOSBox runs on your system * The game runs in DOSBox * DOSBox itself is compatible with your OS, while the game only has to be compatible with DOSBox There you have it, an unmodified copy of SimAnt working on a modern system through the miracle of emulation. |

Second, its actually about 2-3€ on Amazon. Bit more on Ebay, but that was a complete boxed copy. I got mine for 5€ and that was at a local supermarket. Third, we know what were doing here, on both rules and abandonware in general. No reason to point out obvious things like its illegal, or what others say or think about it. Yes its illegal (more like it falls in "no one cares" gray area), but there is honor among thieves and we have better policy on these things than any given warez site. |

i hate to be the buzz killington here but most to all SIM related games are now owned by EA, and they still hold the Copyright to them  ....sucks because it seems the only place to get SimAnt is off eBay or amazon for like 18$ newAbandonware isn't an actual legal term. In fact, SimAnt is still owned by EA and it is not legal to download it. I've seen sites get taken down for hosting SimAnt and other EA games... not that it stops much of anyone from doing it, but it's worth noting that it is not a legally free downloadable game yet.

If I remember well, you can pick up food no matter what kind of ant you are, worker or soldier. Now I didnīt remember if being that ant with a pair of wings you can collect food (I never used them to go around), but for the other two, yes, you ALWAYS can pick food with a soldier or a worker, at least in the MS-Dos version that I have from years ago. And itīs better to catch food with a soldier in case of a fortuite encounter againts a red ant. The workers use to die more often than the soldiers against red ants, the giant spider only can be killed...ummm...no spoilers!. |
