Overall, Gorilla is a good example of a small, but well-coded BASIC game with which you can spend more minutes than you realize. Having this 'explosive banana' therefore leaves room for some strategy, since you can either try to get the banana over the buildings, or you can try to explode your way through them to reach the enemy gorilla. If your banana hits the buildings, it will explode on contact. If you don't take strength and direction into account when throwing the banana, you'll never hit the opposing gorilla. There are 2 obstacles that you will have to deal with: the blowing wind, and tall buildings on the screen. Gorilla is a cute little BASIC game included free with the first version of Microsoft's QBASIC program (the other being a QBASIC version of Nibblers).Ĭasting you as a huge gorilla, the game is extremely simple: when it's your turn, you type the angle and how strong you want to throw your banana in hope that it would hit your opponent (either the computer, or another human player).ĭespite the simple premise, the game is not as easy as it sounds.
