I built a remake of the MS-DOS classic "Gorilla.bas" - now with the AI opponent we never had.

Back in the day, Microsoft shipped a "hidden" gem with DOS 5.0 to showcase QBasic: Gorilla.bas. It was a simple premise - two gorillas on a city skyline throwing explosive bananas - but it was incredibly addictive.

The only problem? Finding a friend to play with. That was easy in the 90s, but a bit harder these days! To fix that, I decided to build a remake. This version features a Computer AI, so you can finally test your trajectory skills even when you’re solo. You're the next ENIAC, and I hope you're not that old to get my joke here.

Any other jokes aside, who here remembers that game?

This is kind of dope. Reminds me of a similar game called Scorched Earth that was released on Dos in the early 90s.
