Gorillas Python - ver. 1.0.0.3

Gorillas is a faithful modern Python port of the legendary 1990 Microsoft QBasic classic that came bundled with MS-DOS.

Two giant gorillas stand atop skyscrapers in a randomly generated city skyline. Your mission: launch explosive bananas at your opponent while carefully adjusting for wind speed, gravity, and the ever-changing buildings below. The same chaotic, addictive gameplay you remember — now running beautifully on modern Windows.

New in this version:

Full 1-Player mode with a 3-level CPU opponent (Easy, Medium, and Smart AI)

Original Microsoft sound effects faithfully recreated and integrated with Pygame

Crisp pixel-perfect 2× scaling with smooth fullscreen toggle (press F11)

Full numeric keypad + keyboard support for quick angle and velocity input

Clean victory dances, proper game-over screen, and strict input validation (no more crashes from invalid keys)

Controls:

Type angle and velocity using keyboard or numeric keypad.

Press Enter (main keyboard or numpad) to fire.

Whether you grew up with the original DOS version or you're discovering this retro gem for the first time, Gorillas delivers pure banana-blasting mayhem with modern polish and a challenging CPU opponent.

Throw wisely. The city skyline is counting on you.

Made with Python + Pygame.

(Windows build only, no source released at this time. No installation required.
