The original Ant Attack was a ZX Spectrum game (it was also ported to the Commodore 64). It’s a nifty game where you play a hero (or heroine) that has to enter a city controlled by huge ants. Your objective is to seek out and rescue a captive then escape the city together (without getting eaten alive by the ants, of course!).

Welcome to the new city of Antescher! There’s a 3D remake of Ant Attack available at http://www.encho.demon.co.uk/aa3d/! You can jump up on a wall (up arrow and spacebar) where ants can’t get at you, and you can throw a bomb (ctrl) at them – but watch out that you don’t blow yourself up too! You can use your mouse to control the direction that you throw the bomb or change your viewpoint.
This game can be played in either a First Person or Third Person point-of-view (tab).

It can be a bit challenging to find the captive in the higher levels. Keep your eyes open for flying hearts – they are emitted by the captive and will give you some hints as to where he is being held.

The ants have a degree of intelligence and once they have detected you will gang up on you and attack. If you keep your distance and are very sneaky, you might be able to avoid attracting their attention. Also, they don’t see as well if you lurk in the shadows or play a night game.

The game comes with three maps but each map has several levels of difficulty. It also comes with a map editor to create your own maps!
