Incidentally, the game (then entitled 'Antz') was never published or sold. The reviews and publicity were down to Tony Dillon of (I think!) CU Amiga or Amiga Format who raved about the game, calling it 'the new Lemmings'. After tons of terrible reviews of a pre-release version, the game was dropped. I renamed it Ants and released it as PD (as I'd always planned, all of my games of that era were PD).
Hey, thanks Mark! And thanks for leaving a comment on my video. You did a great job and nothing to feel ashamed about. If you can imagine a modern game, with park benches and hotel furniture to eat, the game could so easily be on modern platforms, just by dragging a finger over the screen. People love collect and multiply games, like Katarami, so with that in mind I'd say it is a timeless classic and a masterpiece. Probably just needed better scenery, like Hovver Bovver mixed with Command and Conquer, and you have a perfect battle/skirmish game. Or virus vs anti-virus game. etc. etc.

I can't believe I found this page!
I also reviewed this game for the Lemon Amiga channel, and thought it was a great game.
Amazing! Thanks.
