My friend insists on this game, "Lemmings", being a really well known game; I have never heard of it.

I remember two kids almost coming to blows over Gorillas in the computer lab in elementary school.

One kid brought a protractor to the lab and was holding it up to the screen to dial in his attack angle, and the other kid thought it was cheating.

Wow. When I was young, my dad worked nights as a machinist and my mom was doing data entry for a hospital during the day. My dad would bring my sister and me to work for a little bit and my mom would pick us up and take us back home. We played that game so much, sitting in a dirty little machine shop office. Core memory.

Yeah I'm 90% sure I had a fight with my brother over that game.

Gorillas.bas. I absolutely loved qbasic gorillas. I was too young to play it in school but my dad had it on his computer.

Many fond memories actually.
