I love it. I too started programming with QBasic in the 90s. I spent many hours modifying (and breaking) the code for bananas.bas and nibbles.bas to give myself all kinds of superpowers. I haven't touched QB in decades but I'm glad someone did and had fun working on it.

GORILLA.BAS, no? That being said, exactly the same here. My first program that was ever used by anyone other than me was a National Lottery number picker for my grandad :) saved him 20 minutes a week...

I made around 200 QBasic games when I was a teenager with no internet to help me, and it gave me so many amazing skills that I still use today!

  That's fantastic. Are they published somewhere?
