{{quote|''"Few ant colonies last very long, but maybe, with your help, this one will survive."''|the introduction to
An early game in which you control an ant colony by manipulating pie charts and selectively controlling the actions of individual ants whom you choose (e.g. moving the queen out of danger or leading a group of other ants into battle as a member of the soldier caste). The objective is genocide: kill the red ants, and then ''[[Take Over the World|drive out the humans and take over their house]]'', and you win. Originally a computer game, the game was also ported to the Super Nintendo.

* [[Ant War]]
* [[Booby Trap]]: Antlion nests outdoors, power sockets in the house. Death to all who enter.

* [[Grand Theft Me]]: (PC/Mac Version) You can swap bodies with any other ant at will, including the Queen or the useless breeders. Can be good for ditching a starving body at the last moment, or avoiding enemy ants as a form of crude teleportation.
** You can also possess the spider and camp out on the enemy territory. Couple with the '???' button that eventually gives the spider laser beams, and you can win map after map in minutes.
* [[Hold Your Hippogriffs]]: With the "funny" captions on, many ants will provide dialogue in this style, as if they were fresh out of a [[Hanna
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: The manual is ''full'' of ant puns. Quite f''ant''astic, don't you think?
* [[Humans Are Cthulhu]]: The human inhabitant of the house often commits genocide for seemingly arbitrary reasons, such as using bug spray and the lawn mower, or even just walking around outside. If you proliferate enough, though, you can win the game by [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|punching out Cthulhu]].
* [[Not So Weak]]: A queen still has a good chance of winning against a soldier, but not such a good chance against a worker ant.
* [[Silliness Switch]]: The PC and Mac versions include an option to add silly sound effects to the game, and word balloon commentary from the ants.
