Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

Simtower anyone?

[–]superbekz 2 points3 points ago

simfarm FTW!!!

apple orchards and corn fields FTW

[–]Metatoast 1 point2 points ago

One of my all time favorite games. I still play it every now and then.

[–]KiteTales 3 points4 points ago

AWWW YES.

[–]Novirtue 3 points4 points ago

I still play this game, don't care how old it is, I still love it. However if Maxis which is now EA, remade this game, it would make the RED Nest DLC, playing in the yard a DLC, entering the house another DLC...

agreed

Ahh! Lawn mower!!

Updated graphics for a start would be phenomenal. The nostalgia runs strong with this one, but going back and trying to play it now the game is just so dated.

[–]KiteTales 4 points5 points ago

whoa man, gameplay > graphics any day of the week.

[–]catch22milo[S] 1 point2 points ago

I agree a thousand times over. Maybe my comment wasn't the best indicator of my love of the game. That aside when I boot it up it still looks very dated. I would hope that a sequel would come with a plethora of gameplay and graphical updates.

but... how would one improve upon PERFECT GAMEPLAY?

[–]Folmz 1 point2 points ago

Hell yeah!!

[–]ComebackShane 1 point2 points ago

I want an ant RTS badly, in ways I can't completely articulate.

[–]toocold2poo 0 points1 point ago

Sadly, the best I can recommend is AntzWarz. A free app, I have it on my android.

[–]lostperception 0 points1 point ago

Looking back, this game was very simple in game mechanics. The thing is no matter how simple those mechanics were my youth devoured many an hour to this wonderful nostalgic piece.

[–]DesuDesu17 0 points1 point ago

Any of you play Empire of the Ants?

[–]Oldmud 0 points1 point ago

Sim Exterminator! The ants have taken over the house. It's your job to take it back.

[–]TrapMo 0 points1 point ago

Best game ever. I have thought this many times.

[–]secretlyadog 0 points1 point ago

the sequel should be an MMO. SimAnt Online would be the hit of the century.

people would stop talking about about HalfLife 3.

[–]Sugarbombs 0 points1 point ago

We had simtown on an old computer at my primary school, best behaved kid that week got to play it for an hour. I only got to play it once, would love to get it again (for science) can't find these anywhere though.

[–]nagasadow91 0 points1 point ago

FUCK YEAH I have this still on my first pc at my grandmothers. Play it almost everytime I go there. Next time im there I'll get a picture on the pc that pc world rated as the worst ever made :D

[–]mchouinard2 0 points1 point ago

Fuck an EA or Maxis remake. Get the guys from Total War on this game! Can you imagine? Thousands of ants on screen partaking in insect ultra violence. It would be glorious.

[–]thebluemonkey -4 points-3 points ago

Really?

I remember it being terrible
