Play QBasic Gorillas Online

Gorillas is the legendary artillery game that shipped with Microsoft QBasic on MS-DOS in 1990. Originally distributed as GORILLAS.BAS, it became one of the most recognisable retro DOS games of the early '90s. Two gorillas stand atop a randomly generated city skyline and take turns hurling explosive bananas at each other — adjusting angle and velocity to arc shots over buildings and score a hit.

How to Play

Each turn, enter an angle (1–90°) and a velocity to launch your banana. Factor in wind speed and direction — shown at the bottom of the screen — to land a direct hit on the opposing gorilla. Buildings act as obstacles, so you'll need to lob shots high or thread them through gaps. The first player to reach the target score wins.
