'''''Gorillas''''' is a [[computer and video games|video game]] distributed with [[MS-DOS|MS-DOS 5]], [[Windows 3.1x]], [[Windows 95]]/[[Windows 98|98]], and [[Windows NT 4.0]]. Written in [[QBasic]], it is one of several programs included as a demonstration of that [[programming language]]. The others are ''[[Nibbles (computer game)|Nibbles]]'' (another game), ''[[Money (computer program)|Money]]'' (a very simple financial [[calculator]]), and ''REMLINE'' (a program to remove line numbers from old [[BASIC]] programs).<br />
<br />
== Gameplay ==<br />
<br />
''Gorillas'' features similar gameplay to ''[[Scorched Earth (computer game)|Scorched Earth]]'', but is somewhat simpler. The [[player (game)|player]] takes on the role of one of two [[gorilla]]s standing on top of [[building]]s in a randomly generated [[skyline]]. Players take turns to enter an [[angle]] and [[velocity]] with which to throw [[explosive material|explosive]] [[banana]]s; the first player to hit the other gorilla with a banana wins the game. The bananas are also destructive to the skyline; it is sometimes necessary to enter the same angle and velocity repeatedly to drill a hole through a building to create a path. However, the game also includes [[wind]], which is assigned a [[randomness|random]] value from 100 left to 100 right for a given [[level (computer and video games)|scenario]]; this can be used to a player's advantage to encircle a building which can not be passed by a simple [[parabola|parabolic]] path.<br />
<br />
The game also features an option to set an arbitrary value for the [[acceleration]] due to [[gravity]]. It is also possible to set this to a negative value, causing the bananas to fall upwards. A small [[Easter egg (virtual)|Easter egg]] is the [[smiley]]-faced [[sun]], that turns into a surprised-looking face if accidentally hit.<br />
<br />
The game can be started by typing:<br><br />
<code>qbasic.exe /run gorilla.bas</code><br />
<br />
== Revival ==<br />
<br />
''Gorillas'', like ''Nibbles'', has experienced something of a revival in the early [[21st century]], in that some [[mobile phone]]s include a variant of the game. It is not, however, anywhere near as ubiquitous as ''[[Snake (video game)|Snake]]''.<br />
<br />
Some more recent games have made more advanced use of elements of gameplay used in ''Gorillas''. These include the [[Worms (computer game)|''Worms'' series]], ''[[Base Conflict (computer game) | Base Conflict]]'' and ''[[Tanks (computer game)|Tanks]]''. Gorillas has recently been remade for the [[GP2X]] [http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,27,1822].<br />
