Does anyone remember the little QBASIC game called Nibbles? It's pretty much Snake on the nokia cellphones. Kept me busy in school :)

Oh yeah... And Gorilla (Gorillas?) too.

I remember when I got a faster computer (486 @ 100 MHz) I had to tweak NIBBLES's source code because it would crash on startup (divide by zero while trying to measure the computer speed, lol).

 

Ah yes....Gorillas. That was a pretty advanced game for its time....and it's simplicity

We never had that problem with having to tweak nibbles for the faster computers because we never got anything faster than a 386 :(

I did tweak it to put my name all over it like I made it...early days of piracy lol

we made a 3-player version of nibbles. It was awesome

@topic

I'll name some that haven't been listed here

Cannon Fodder
Mario Teaches Typing
