Hey CH. im looking for an older strategy game for the pc. ive tried to find it in a few places but to no avail. it was prolly pre 2000 when it was made. it was an old overhead rts game with bugs. you would build different types of bugs and attack the other bug base with beetles with cannons on them and things such as that. if theres anything anyone knows please help me out here! thank you in advance

The Zerg in Starcraft 1?

Or maybe the Starship Troopers RTS kinda game.

EDIT:

A name comes to mind, I think it was called Empire of the Ants?

thank you so much for the responses so far! empire of the ants isnt it it was way older than that and it definitely wasnt starcraft it wasnt beetle like creatures they were bugs,because i know you could build ants,beetles that worked as artillery, and scorpions and stuff. the teams were defined by colors so in one battle you would be the blue or green bugs. thank you so much i hope we find this game

Also i checked out gamespot it wasnt in there sadly enough but thank you for the suggestion. oh and i believe the game was in 256 colors if that helps at all. it was old and im giving the best description i have i only had a little demo of the game originally i just remember it being so much fun and wanting the full version. sorry for the long response

I cannot help you out with a title, as it does not sound even remotely familiar to me. However, I recommend checking out this site if you were not already aware of it. They have a great deal of older games made compatible with Windows 7. Link
Good hunting brother.

That is the smartest thing I have ever heard anyone say about anything.
