The picture below is not the 'Gorillas' game, above! 
'Gorillas', also known under the source code's file name Gorilla.Bas, is a video game first distributed with MS-DOS 5 and published in 1991 by IBM corporation, not Microsoft. It is a turn-based artillery game. The game consists of two gorillas throwing explosive bananas at each other above a city skyline. The players can adjust the angle and velocity of each throw, as well as the gravitational pull of the planet. Written in QBasic, it is one of the programs included as a demonstration of that programming language.

Reminds me of the first generation Artari tennis game.

I know that it is far simpler than any games that are 'current', now; but I get a real hoot out of plotting trajectories and velocities - and watching the gorillas 'explode'! [which is not really 'graphic, at all]. Simple things can please complex minds, too!
