Author Topic: Yet another nostalgic Time Waster WizArtist II "How can you have a yellow alert in Spacedock? " Member # 1425 posted                       I remember playing THIS when the "486" was the FAST computer. -------------------- There are 10 types of people in the world...those that understand Binary and those that don't.

Registered: Nov 2004  |  IP: Logged Not Invented Here Member Member # 1606 posted                       I remember playing this, except it was with Gorillas that threw exploding bombs at each other. And oh yeah, it was in QBasic, which meant you had to type the entire thing into the compiler by hand, only to discover that you made a spelling mistake on lines 12,56,105... well you get the idea. Good times, good times.

I played a QBasic version of this once, when I was 12 or so. I think it was on a 386. Registered: Jul 2005  |  IP: Logged TSN I'm... from Earth. Member # 31 posted                       Oh, man, I remember that gorilla game! They stood on top of buildings and threw exploding bananas. I seem to recall trying to do weird things like throw the banana so hard it never came back down, or use the explosions to cut all the way through a building. Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged OverRon Member Member # 2036 posted                       I loved that gorilla game! I also remember spending days copying basic line by line from a magazine, into my old Amstrad. Those were the days of gaming, eh? Registered: Oct 2007  |  IP: Logged B.J. Space Cadet Member # 858 posted                       Yeah. Kinda sucks that there's no simple programming anymore. I used to take the games I typed in and modify them, or create my own stuff. Besides the fact that nobody uses BASIC anymore, I wouldn't know where to start today.

Or DarkBASIC; it's like BASIC for DirectX.

QBasic wasn't my first love, I'll confess...I was first seduced by Turbo Pascal.

I may have only been four at the time but I mastered Alpiner. -------------------- Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I cannot accept.
