I was about 4 when I first heard the noise coming from downstairs, and it wasn't until about 1988 that I finally realized why 5 years later such a noise was being made. Well it was simple a new age of gaming was around and my Mum and Dad were actually fighting over one game and whose turn it was next.
Fire Ant for the family Commodore 64 was brilliant. It was a very basic yet addictive game that consisted of around 7 - 8 levels that you had to navigate your ant around avoiding those dastardly nasty scorpion things.
Each level had like a different puzzle to solve. To get to the next level you had to collect keys and eggs that the scorpions would lay as they moved around the level. Each level would be slightly more difficult than the last and you know what I don't think to this day that I actually completed it when I was little, but it brings back such
wonderful childhood memories for me and my family.
Give it a go today.
