I want a Sim Ant game but with bees (beehaw.org)

Beehaw has me thinking about bees..

Sim Ant was such a nice little game when it came out (yes, I'm old) and it ought to be fun to have something similar but with bees.

Does anyone know if such a game exists? I looked around a bit and found Bee Simulator on steam but that's more playing a single bee, not managing the entire hive.

Might still be neat though even if it's not quite what I had in mind.

Anyway, just.. wanted more bees. :)

I liked sim ant too. Also it's amazing that the brain remembers those games still, it's been like over 30 years... But they made a super strong impression at that age.

Maxis were pretty impressive back then! Pioneers really.

Yeah I remember everyone having a lot of respect and you would hear things like "it's a maxis game so it's going to be awesome".

I wish I could go back to that age sometimes because I don't get nearly as excited about games anymore as an adult, and that's a shame. It was great to be really excited about a game like that.

It's a hard quality to keep, things were new and exciting back then. We've seen so many games by now that there's not much left to impress. How often does something truly new and ground breaking actually come around?

That's not saying that there's no good games any more, there are but most of them are spins on something that's already been done.

But yeah.. that sense of wonder and excitement, it's a precious thing.
