Gorillas is a classic QBasic game that shipped with MS-DOS in the early 1990s, commonly known as QBasic Gorillas. It is a turn-based artillery game where two gorillas stand atop city buildings and take turns throwing explosive bananas at each other. Players must calculate angle and velocity while accounting for gravity and wind to land a successful hit. With simple ASCII-style graphics, destructible buildings, and humorous animations, it became an iconic example of programming fun bundled with DOS. Gorillas introduced many users to basic coding concepts and can be played right here online through browser-based DOS emulation.
