Dec 18, 2012 The game I am looking for is an old pc game around 98/2000. I am pretty sure it was part of some sort of game pack disc.
Ants are particularly productive creatures that work together and accomplish tasks of amazing ingenuity. Every ant does its duty for the good of the colony and its queen – whether that’s hunting for food or linking together with its brethren to form a raft and cross a pond. There’s no better (or safer) way to be a part of the colony than by playing Ant Games. Don’t let their small size fool you, anything can be a force of nature when they number in the thousands!
The great thing about ants is that they’re team players, and now you can help them cooperate for the greater good of the colony. Of course, ants also have fearsome enemies, so you may need to protect your insect friends from certain destruction. If you’ve ever wanted to start with a small colony and watch it grow into a thriving microcosm of nature, Ant Games are the way to go!
The colony is always in a hustle – probably as busy as a bee. But you know what they say about all work and no play! Don’t let the fast-paced nature of life stop you from browsing the thousands of downloadable games in the Big Fish library.
“Catan - Cities & Knights”
for PC and Mac
We are Marianne, Sean and William. Would you like to get to know us better? If so, you should play “Catan – Cities & Knights.” In this game, we are your opponents. And believe me: during the campaign with its 20 different scenarios we won't make things easy for you!
Please note: The game is not available anymore. It has been replaced with the “Catan – Creator's Edition.”
About the game
Finally, the most popular Catan expansion is also available as a PC adaptation with strong computer opponents. It took a long time to fine-tune the artificial intelligence of the computer opponents so that the game would be challenging also for experienced Catan players. For this reason, Klaus Teuber as the designer of the original board game was closely involved in the development, and together with the Catan Online World team the new version was created.
“Catan – Cities & Knights” is a thrilling gaming experience for everyone – fans since day one and first-time players alike.
There are a total of eight different computer opponents to choose from. The extensive campaign includes many varied scenarios, from the simple Base Game to diverse Seafarers scenarios (Oceania and Heading for New Shores, among others) to Cities & Knights scenarios in combination with Seafarers (Greater Catan C&K, among others).
The individual scenarios of the campaign can be activated step by step; afterwards, you can also play the scenarios individually, using different options such as “Friendly Robber” or “Card Stack”. Spoken story sequences develop the thread of the campaign story. An interactive tutorial helps newcomers get started with the game, and for the skilled player extensive game statistics are available.

Using the Compatibility Mode on Older Macs
'Catan - Cities & Knights' is basically ready to be run on older Macintosh computers with PPC processor using Mac OS 10.5 X 'Leopard.' To run 'Catan - Cities & Knights' on a Mac with a 32 bit Intel processor (Core Duo) or a PPC processor, you have to switch the game to the so-called 'compatibility mode' (unless this was done automatically during installation).
