GORILLAS QBASIC
Gorillas is a physics-based action game released in 1990, developed by an unknown developer. In this two-player competitive game, players control gorillas positioned atop buildings in a cityscape and take turns hurling bananas at each other. The core mechanic involves calculating the correct angle and throwing force to hit your opponent while accounting for wind effects that influence projectile paths. Players must adjust their strategy based on the varying heights of procedurally generated buildings. The game features simple ASCII-style graphics typical of QBASIC programs. Victory goes to the player who successfully strikes their opponent first. Controls are keyboard-based, with players inputting angle and velocity parameters before each throw. The game offers both single-player matches against computer AI and head-to-head multiplayer gameplay, making it an accessible yet strategically engaging title for DOS players.
