@joyman2000 You can use DosBox and limit the FPS and the CPU cycles in a easy way ;)

[Lrbearclaw]

I LOVED THIS GAME! My dad and I played it, he was helping me learn basic physics when I was 8 or 9. However... it was FUN to use the moon's gravity.... or Saturn's.

[Griphen84]

@Lrbearclaw

Did play it with my dad too. It was great, loved it.

Hahahaha

And before that I used to play Nibbles with my younger brother.

I was like 6-8 then. ;)

[lingojac]

haha this was my first computer game ever! i always made it a point to cut a hole straight through a building.

[supeerme]

@lingojac It's the same for me as well. My dad said that he programmed it...Now seeing this, i don't think so now...

[LP2LP2]

CREATED WITH QBASIC VERY HARD !!!

[ciolamorta]

I had a lot of fun with this game: i remember i changed the physics and the banana flied at incredible speed :D

[Skarr93]

oh oh oh!!!! I Played this game when i was 3th years old!!!! jajajaja it's a beautiful game!

[pred09ale]

epic!

[Philnemba]

Man I remember playing this game back at a summer camp when I was little :D

[CalvoPro]

OOOOOHHH WN, wenisima :D

[neehime6]

i going to cry with this T_T

[newcoleco]

fun fact : based on the music playing at the title screen, it's not the first version. you probably know also the few notes music for the game "nibbles.bas", it was the same music for "gorillas.bas" before the version you are showing.

[biboKralle]

ouh yeah, round 2, HEADSHOT!

[erikals2]

What a legend, I played this game recently and have lost it. It was so fun to learn maths and kill the enemy gorilla with exploding bananas at the same time...

[emddudley]

This was my first experience trying to learn programming... I could only figure out how to take input from the command line and print output.

[speccwolf]

Qbasic lmfao, hahahahahahaha, i havent heard that in years.

[trickyoutrickme]

Yeah.. thanks to this game I first programmed a PC.. to play little pc speaker songs! =) It hooked me to technology when my neighbor syster said she could pick the songs up on her radio!! =))

[Gilbinator]

This was my all time favorite game as a kid.

[SmiertSpionem]

I loved it when the sun went :O

[granskare]

yeah, bring back dos and win 3.1 :)

[SmiertSpionem]

A recent article on BBC News said they still used 3.1 in Virgin airliners ;)

[3FingeredWoo]

utter legend of a game!

[swordsdancer]

qbasic <3

[SoyDeCostaRica]

Que genial... ese fue el primer juego que jugué en toda mi vida...

[nrdesign1991]

That gives so many memories back... Thank you!

[badvidsfromgermany]

Thats a classic.

[Fedpowell]

YEAAAAAAAAAH

I LOVE YOU.

[JJavenger1988]

AHAHAHHAHAHAHHH

[GamingPalooza]

this is one of the first PC game i used to ever play lol

[DoctorScissors]

Awesome. Qbasic games rule.

[DaMoTaiShi]

This game is loads of fun for two players. You can see the banana hurtling towards you, grimacing in helpless horror, as your buddy gloats in anticipation. ^_^

[LanIost]

One more thing. I happen to have a good looking girlfriend and.. I swear to you, I almost died one day when she saw me fooling around in Qb and let me teach her enough that she was able to write (with only a bit of my help) a program to pset a set amount of pixels randomly.

I know it doesn't sound like much. But the idea of this. Too much for my mind to comprehend. If anything is a testament to QB that would be it.

The power and functionality to fun ratio is second to none. Poor DOS.

[LanIost]

This was a great game to be bundled with Nibbles. Showed you a simple way to do sprites. Nibbles showed you a simple way to do real time game play.

QB is easily my favorite language ever. I still use it even though I code applications to be released in C/C++ with Allegro or SDL.

Nothing beats testing an algorithm quickly and not having to wait for compiling or being able to use graphics without libraries immediately.

Have you seen what can be done in pure QB, no libraries? Monospace? Yeah.

[freespeachrulez]

I remember in high school back when we were learning dos and windows 3.1 all the kids thought this was some kind of hack, and the teacher wasn't even aware of it and thought we hacked the computer or brought it in, then everyone started playing it, and it got so bad that you would get suspended. Its pretty sad that the teacher flunked me even though I now have a computer software biz making thousands of dollars and he is the greeter at walmart I think.

[aullaralaluna]

fucking hell this is too sweet!

[emilygclarinet]

Wow, this brings back memories!

[sungerboob]

yeyeye gorillaaaaaaa thx for shareee

[kazimann]

I had this game on an old MS-DOS computer (Still have the computer, it just doesn't work though).

[AnaMacarena12]

Where can i get this game???

[dubrox]

The original QBasic version is downloadable at:

qbasic dot com, classic, files, gorilla dot zip

You're gonna need QBasic interpreter to run it (google for it if you want).

There is a Java version, a remake of the QBasic one, that runs directly from your browser. Google: "Jorilla Sourceforge"

Cheers ;)

[LordAgoston]

Thanks for the info... I Checking that stuff now pal.

[TooManySnakes]
