Info
There are two versions of SimAnt. one in lo-res and the other hi-res. The hi-res version requires one meg of chip RAM and another meg of fast RAM. Both versions are sluggish in changing windows, though an accelerator brings everything up to speed. Just to set your mind at ease, the slowness isn't bad enough to be more than a minor annoyance. Given the enormous number of things going on. it's all perfectly understandable and acceptable. The graphics are very good in lo-res. but hi-res really brings them to life. The sound effects are disgustingly wonderful; ants frequently feed by regurgitation and the sound when they do is vile enough to delight any junior high kid. The manual is beyond thorough: its 176 pages not only take you through the game step by step, but also has the most information on ants this side of an entomological textbook. It's witty, well-written,
and almost as entertaining as the game.
