Antz is a side scrolling platformer for the Gameboy Color game based on the DreamWorks Animation movie. It's one of the earlier Gameboy Color games so it also works on the original Gameboy. You play as the main protagonist Z. You can collect pick axes to throw at enemies, and rings to get extra lives. Silly ant, rings are for hedgehogs! You can also collect 3 keys in each stage to see what the password for the next stage is, but nowadays you can just look up the passwords on the Internet.

With Antz being one of my favorite DreamWorks Animation movies, the Gameboy Color game was a must-play for me. For an 8 bit game, it does a surprisingly faithful job at retelling the movie's story. It included the magnifying glass and shoe scenes as boss fights, and there's even a flying shoot em up style level where you control Chip, that was the hornet voiced by Dan Aakroyd. There are a couple stages where you ride on a leaf to cross rivers, which for me were the most frustrating parts of the game, but other than that it was a lot of fun. I was a little disappointed they didn't have a General Mandible boss fight at the end. The music is catchy.

Over all, Antz for the Gameboy Color is pretty good. If you like 2D platformers, or if you are a fan of the movie, then I highly recommend Antz!
