1986 Paradise Software (UK)
By Nigel Stuart

When I first started playing this game I was completely unaware of the arcade version. So I was pleasantly surprised with it's originality and overall idea.
Then I checked in WOS that there was an original arcade version, and started making comparisons with both versions, which spoiled the game a bit. So I decided not to go that way.

Speccy's Anteater is a very compelling and addictive game. It does look dated and it may turn off lots of players just for the way it looked in 1986.

Honestly the only thing about it that turns me off, is knowing there aren't any other nasties, besides the ants. Other than that I loved every minute of playing it!

3,5 points

A very original game indeed !! quite amusing and soooo cute !!

Display your tongue before the ants bite you !! ñam-ñam ! as we say in Spanish ...

Colors and sound to the full ...

A very pleasant 1/4 of an hour .

This game puts a smile in my face and I would have loved it as a kid .

2,5 out of 5 .

I have never even heard of the arcade game this is based on let alone played it, but this is pretty decent actually. It's a game you definitely need patience for especially in later levels and I don't have much nowadays, plus the constant sound that plays during the game will hurt your head as you wait to make your move. The movement's a little wonky but it's quite a nice game, much better than I anticipated anyway.
