Computer games of yore

Gorillas

In Gorillas, also known as GORILLA.BAS, you play a big ape throwing bananas at another big ape. The bananas explode on impact, hopefully destroying your simian opponent, but more likely destroying large portions of the city skyline instead. Let's hope all the residents were already evacuated! To direct your bananas, you input an angle, and a velocity. Try not to forget what you entered on your last turn. I might have played 10,000 turns of Gorillas. "Just one more game, Dad!"

Sopwith

This was what I wanted to do every time I went to my grandparent's house. Fleeting moments pretending I was Biggles in the little office that overlooked Prospecthill road.
