  • Export saves: export the savegame files from your browser, so you can switch to another browser or computer. You can also use them in an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Import saves: import savegames that you exported before with the Export saves button.
  • Download disk: export the whole game from your browser, with all your savegames. Useful to switch to an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Reset game files: if you somehow messed up the game files, you can reset them to an exact copy of the original.
  • Reset saves: delete all savegames from your browser. We recommend that you export them first: there is no turning back!
Import saves?

The saves in the zip file replace your saves that have the same name. If the game runs, it starts again.

Reset game files?

This puts back all the files that the game came with, also the files that you deleted or changed. Files that the game made, such as saves, stay. If the game keeps a save in one of its own files, that save is lost. If the game runs, it starts again.

Delete your saves?

This deletes all your saves and all your changes to this game. You cannot undo this. To keep a copy, export your saves first. If the game runs, it starts again.

Oh, my childhood.
Even though there are now dozens of gaming websites like ant.games and poki, I still can't find any game better than SimAnt.

Try stopping, then re-starting the emulation. The game should load now.

Runs perfectly in-browser on all operating systems. Right now I'm playing on Linux and on Windows 11.

Enjoy! (Tip: Don't forget to turn off music if it becomes too repetitive.)

You cant really download it on chrome or safari, because the sim ant computer language is too out dated for the computer to understand. So it wont work on any newer versions of windows. Maybe if you have an old computer that still has a DOS platform it might work, IDK

umm... what am i supposed to do after starting it up? all i see is a black screen with some text...

Aaron 29 Jun. 2016

Chrome does not work with these games it seems. Try FireFox if you see all the text but the game doesn't start. The Internet Archive is having the same problem with their games. Chrome changed something in their browser that prevents the games from working.

Jester 01 Jun. 2016

On browser mode I get a black screen with lots of text, no real game. When I try to download it, and run the SIMANT.EXE BANG, 'Cannot run'. :( Real shame, this website looked promising.

Downloaded the game. Most things seem to work fine, but I notice little glitches, for example I can't get other ants to follow me after hitting recruit.

Chim 25 Feb. 2016

It works. You just have to select /SIMANT.EXE as the executable

rika195 14 Jan. 2016

I remember playing this game as a kid. It taught me a lot about how ants work in teams, and how scary things like spiders or rival ant hills could be defeated if you had a large enough ant army. It was so much fun! I'm so glad to find it again.

Oldie, you need to select the simants folder on the second selector, the default one is the info folder
