    I've been looking around for a game like SimAnt (the oldschool version). Out of many I've played, this one has the closest feel to the original. It's strategic, great graphics, attention to all the geeky details we ant people love. Play this one!

    This game has 1 glaring flaw - the inability to save mid mission. With most missions taking around 1 hour, you need to be able to dedicate that much time anytime you start a mission. Furthermore, many missions have some ending troll, and if you're not completely prepared for it, you just lose an hour of progress.
