Dancing Ants
« on: March 25, 2020, 06:26 AM »
Many many years ago all we had was floppy disks. I recall patience games that when you achieved success, a group of dancing small animals (I think ants) went on parade playing musical instruments. My wife and I were so delighted that someone could make up a program to do this.

Does anyone remember it and can you get a modern version of it?

That's the one 2wd. My wife will be so pleased to recreate our early computer experiences. Thanks.

Sorry it's 4wd - my eyes are not working properly after a cataract operation.
