I have no idea why this old old school game popped in my mind the other day, but I remember this game back in the DOS / Basic era before Windows came along. You had two gorillas on opposite sides of the screen on a city scape of buildings and your task was to plug in coordinates for your gorilla to hit the other gorilla. It was a two person game and if you put in the right angle info and velocity your gorilla would toss his banana over to the other side of the screen and if it hit the other gorilla there would be a crater where your enemy gorilla was. Your gorilla would then flail it's arms up and down in a sort of victory dance. It was incredible simple but pretty fun. Above is a screencap video of the game someone posted on YouTube.
