Controlling caste and behaviour was great too. There was rarely just waiting for something to grow or finish, I always had some task to do! Get more food, dig more tunnels, tend to the eggs, fight off invading red Ants! But it didn't take any fancy timing or tricky button combinations, just quick thinking and planning. The original, I found, gave more control, but I sort of missed the 'Scenario' gameplay added to the SNES port.

So when I found the original PC version some time later in a bundle of games I was thrilled. I remember playing the SNES version of SimAnt obsessively as a young child (younger than 9 - I know I didn't have it after around 9 years of age). Same gameplay, but if you chose to actively control an ant, instead of the "Dig Dug" view, you became the and and played it as an FPS! Never went beyond comments made by Maxis staffers at the trade shows, but talk about it went on until "Streets of SimCity" came out and royally tanked, which killed off any ideas of FPSing any other Maxis sims. IIRC, Maxis toyed around with the idea of a new version of SimAnt. Even PC Week gave it an excellent review, and those choads back then were notorious for hating anything that wasn't Lotus 1-2-3. When it came out, it actually outsold SimCity and the various cosmetic packs, and there was almost no negativity seen in the reviews published in the plethora of trade rags at the time. This was one of the few games that the early pirate groups actively encouraged the "if you like it, buy it!" dogma. SimAnt was included in the SimClassic pack.
The game was a hit with more than 100,000 copies sold and was released on many platform.
