A fine example of sound programming principles, and another title which runs fabulously across decades of Macintosh. Interestingly, you can "extract" the quirky music from this application. If you open it with ResEdit, and peek into the "Midi" resource, you can copy and paste a song into a text processor (BBEdit) and save. Then open it in any MIDI player. Instruments don't exactly match, but you can tell it's the SimAnt theme music.

BEST. GAME. EVER.

When I was in seventh grade, if we finished our work early, Mrs. Clayton would let us play SimAnt on the classroom Mac. Yay!
