ISO *old* computer game

[Dooling37]

....at each other over/around skyscrapers, at varying angles and velocities, taking into account the wind, building height, distance, etc.
I played this probably 8 years ago with my Dad a lot, and have been searching for it again recently, but cannot for the life of me come up with a name for it, or where to find it.

It *has* to be available online somewhere for free, right?!?!??

TIA!

pretty sure it was just called 'gorillas'.

 

[edmicman]

didn't it come with DOS or qbasic or something? have an old old dos machine anywhere?

 

[NutBucket]

It was a demo program written in basic or qbasic, I don't recall which. Any old install of DOS should have it.

Yup -- google search for gorilla.bas turns up links that sound correct. I wasn't at all technically competent back in those days. Definitely no DOS machines laying around, but I will see if I can find an emulation / similar game on the 'net.

Thanks!

Posted this in the other thread, but that one might get locked.

It was called "Gorilla" and it came with QBasic IIRC.

Here is what appears to be an online version:

We spent a lot of time in my MCSE class playing that.
