I don't know if it's forgotten, but it's forgotten to me. There was this ant game where you had a colony of ants that would go collect food, or attack other colonies. There was this very pixelated top-down map view where you could see the brightly colored food disappear pixel by pixel as they ate.

I can't figure out what the game was but I loved it.

Nope, the other commenter got it. It was Microsoft Ants. Sim Ant is what most people guess when I have brought this one up before though. I'll have to try it sometime.

This is what it sounds like to me, and Sim Ant is the game I had in mind opening this post. It was a good one.

Thank you for reminding me of this game. I think it is Microsoft ants

Oh my God! Finally! I genuinely couldn't track down what the game was for years. Thank you!
