And I'm still too busy and using an old video card (MSI NVIDIA GeForce
GTX 750 Ti (N750TI-2GD5/OC; 2 GB of VRAM) so I can't play it for now. :(
Maybe I will finally play it in a decade when it is free and have better
hardwares. Ha! :P

For people with both a bug-fetish AND an old-timey game fetish, the
original "Empire of Ants" game (released back in 2000) is now on sale
too.

From everything I've heard, the 2024 game is far superior but buy both
and make the comparison for yourself. ;-)

I got that first retail game for free from Microids back then. I don't
remember how and why, but hey. Too bad they won't give me this one. :-P
Anyways, I remember it being pretty, but it was boring compared to other
RTS games! I'd rather replay SimAnt. :-P

Did anyone play 2024 version yet?
