SimAnt
Explore Maxis's original Macintosh colour demonstration of its ant-colony simulation.
Maxis, 1992
A promotional look at the colony
This is the original SimAnt Color Demo distributed on Apple's 1992 Macintosh Demo Games CD. It opens an animated ant-colony scene after a display mode prompt. The available evidence does not establish that its controls offer the complete game's interactive modes, so this listing presents it as a promotional demonstration rather than a playable copy of SimAnt.
The archive preserves the demo application and its resource fork in MacBinary form. It contains no retail game disk or installed commercial files. Browser launch remains disabled pending a release-mode browser check.

Permission
