From strategy game series with the sim* prefix, this one is probably the most original. In the game SimAnt: The Electronic Ant Colony you worry about black ant colony, you have to build from the beginning, from the first ant, forming million ants colony. You live in the yard and, you have to take care of everything so that you colony is functional and healthy (create the first underground corridors, bring food, attack the enemy spiders, attack the colony of red ants, etc.) and gradually achieve the greatest colony in the neighborhood. Your ants fight against enemy red ants. The ultimate goal of the game is to expand your colony to the entire garden, get into the house and "defeat" all opponents, including the human inhabitants of the house. The game can be played in three modes "Quick Game", "Full Game" and "Experimental Game", each offering different starting situations and different tools to play. You win if you manage to exterminate all the red ants and the yard owner flee far away with his dog and cat, because of the millions of ants in his yard.
