What's that one oooolllddd computer game?

[Mr Pickles]

I had it on my grandpa's windows 3.1 computer. It was this game where there are two monkeys, two players of course, sitting on top of buildings and you put in the velocity and trajectory and they throw bananas at each other one at a time until they hit the other one and they blow up.

I had it along with like this worm game rendition where you collect the numbers and get bigger. You've all seen that.

Man I kept searching monkeys...

Anyone play this? I'm going to see if I can emulate it.

And the memories come flooding back.

That was the second PC game I remember playing, after Rogue. I loved that game!

Remember how you could throw it at max speed horizontally and it would clip through the landscape and explode on the other side? Good times.

That was a BASIC game, it was Gorillas, IIRC.

 

[thelanx]

Oh man those were classic. I played both, although the worm game was called Nibbles for me. The memories...

 

[Quasmo]

look up scorched earth.

I remember when Dad bought his second PC it came with this cheesy game called Aldo's Adventures. Damn, I miss that game.

Yeah and there was no trajectory or velocity cap so you could throw it just right suuuper high it would go up, take like 45 seconds to come down and SLAM it would bury itself like 10 stories below the top of the building? That was awesome.

Anyone have any good suggestions for place to play flash versions of games like this? I'm looking to play that and The Incredible Machine.

LOL Gorillas. Ahhh the memories hahahahaha. That and Nibbles were like staples of those Dos-based comps.

hahaha, the victory dance was always hilarious.

 

[Tobolo]

AWESOME GAME. Rehash it and put it out for download.

 

[benzylic]

This game called Tanks is kind of like that monkey game, I like playing this one.

Other old I games I liked was Chips Challenge and some game were you were a mouse and you had to move the cheese block to kill the cats. I think thats how it went anyways, haven't played that in forever.

Nibbles dude! Nibbles! That's the name of the word game I was talking about. Oh man, good times.

Yeah its Chips Challenge, but what you had to do was move wall pieces around to corner the cats and grab all the cheeses to advance to the next level. And if you trapped the cats so they couldnt move in any direction then they died haha. That was a later one though, it came along with Ski Free, the long time classic.

Was Ski Free the one were you would ski down the mountain avoiding obstacles, then if you got so far that bear would start chasing you? If thats it I never could outrun that bear

I remember editing the code on Gorillas so the explosions would be huge.

That's the one, its not incredibly old like the ones we were talking about. Oh and the bear, it was the ibaminable snow-man.
