GORILLAS QBASIC

1990 · MS-DOS · Microsoft

'QBasic Gorillas' is the legendary turn-based strategy game supplied with the first QBasic version. The game in which you take on the role of a giant gorilla is very easy to use: you have to adjust the angle and velocity of each throw, hoping to hit your opponent (controlled by the computer or a human player) with an exploding banana. Despite these simple conditions, the game is not as easy as it seems. Two difficulties have to be considered: the blowing wind and the skyscrapers on the monitor. If strength and direction are not sufficiently taken into account when throwing bananas, you'll never be able to hit the opponent gorilla. Once the banana touches a building, it will explode on contact. The 'explosive bananas' just offer a small strategic flexibility: either try to throw the banana over the skyscrapers, or you can try to explode your way through the buildings to kill your opponent.
