Ant Attack on the C64?

I didn't know that Ant Attack came out on the C64, I thought it was Speccy only. Someone (NickH, I think) provided a link in another thread to a magaine scan site, and whilst looking through it I found:

I'm glad the C64 owners got to play it, but I was sure that I'd read someone that it was never ported to the Speccy. Does anyone know anything about it?

ported to the speccy? Nah. It was originally written on the speccy.
I remember playing the C64 port a few years back though...

Arrghhh - can't believe I mistyped that, I meant ported to the C64. I know it was a Speccy original, as I remember reading about it (and getting the map with Your Spectrum) all those years ago.

I just hadn't realised that it was on the C64, that was all.

Hmm, looks pretty good doesn't it? Shame the reviewer couldn't read, he's called the city Antchester - of course it was Antescher, named after the artist MC Escher

I imagine a game set in an Escher-like world would be a bizarre experience!

Shame the C64 one doesn't play like the Speccy original. It's actually rather crap. I guess the C64 owners think, 'eh? Them Speccy folk are mad if they call this heap o' shit, a classic.'

Ooh, that looks interesting. Surely a Speccy port could be done there!
