I was hoping for the iconic opening and sound effects. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDc3ZEKl-Wc)

Some more interesting information on Gorrilas (from the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorillas_(video_game) )

* It was actually created by IBM

* Other games included with QBASIC include Nibbles (snake), Money (a financial calculator), and REMLINE (removes line numbers from old BASIC programs.)

* The BASIC source code is linked to from the wikipedia page

* Another implementation can be found here: http://zefonseca.com/gorillasjs/. It lets you play against an AI, but loses some nostalgia since the graphics are different.
