The Colony
Wikipedia
The Colony is a first-person shooter developed by David Alan Smith. It was published by Mindscape.
The 1988 Macintosh release came in two versions, one in color and one with black-and-white graphics. The DOS version, released the same year, was available in black-and-white only. The 1990 Amiga version was in color.
Previous first-person perspective games of the era used precomputed views, such as The Sentinel, or fixed-perspective graphics, such as Phantom Slayer. The Colony was one of the first games of its kind to let the player move freely while rendering graphics in real time. It was also the first 3D game to let the player drive a vehicle.
The Colony is a 1996 TV film directed by Tim Hunter.
The Colony is a professional wrestling stable currently performing for Chikara. As their name suggests, their gimmick is that of an ant colony, which is further reinforced with their names being based on particular ants ( Fire Ant, Green Ant / Silver Ant, and Carpenter Ant) and classes within an ant colony (Soldier Ant and the first and second Worker Ants).
Originally debuting at the 2006 Tag World Grand Prix as a tag team consisting of Fire Ant and Soldier Ant, The Colony later grew to include a number of new members. Since debuting, The Colony has seen championship success in singles, tag team and trios competition. In Chikara, Fire Ant and Soldier Ant are one-time Campeones de Parejas, Fire Ant is a one-time Young Lions Cup Champion, Fire Ant and Soldier Ant were the winners of the 2008 Tag World Grand Prix, Carpenter Ant was the winner of the 2009 Torneo Cibernetico and Fire Ant, Soldier Ant and Green Ant (now known as Silver Ant) were the winners of the 2011 King of Trios.
In addition to Chikara, the group has seen success in other promotions; Silver Ant was a one time Wrestling is Fun! (WiF!) 24/7 Champion (as Green Ant) and the winner of Chilanga Mask's 2015 Torneo de Parejas alongside Ophidian, the second Worker Ant was a one time WiF! Banana Champion (as assailAnt), and Fire Ant was the winner of the 2014 Forza Lucha Cup.

The Colony was a squatters' community on "commonty", or common land, on one side of Bennachie, a range of hills near Aberdeen, in Scotland.
From the beginning of the nineteenth century common land in the parishes of Chapel of Garioch and Oyne on the east side of Bennachie became home to a community of squatters. This settlement was known locally as the Colony. A small number of families led a crofting life supplementing it by doing skilled work, such as dyking, quarrying and knitting.
In 1850 it is believed the Colony had a population of 55. In 1859 eight neighbouring landlords took possession of sections of Bennachie as part of their estates. This action, recognised in law from 5 March 1859, has become known as the Division of the Commonty. As a result, the population on the side of the hill began to decline. Most of the crofts were built on land claimed by Col. Charles Leslie of Balquhain and Fetternear. His son, Charles Stephen Leslie, was responsible for evicting some of the residents in 1878. The last of the colonists, George Esson, lived on the hill until his death in May 1939.
Visitors to Bennachie can explore the Colony, including the remains of a croft which was excavated as part of the Fetternear Research Project 1 in 1999.
