I remember using QBasic to write some fairly simple programs for DOS back in
the day. I wrote a couple screen-saver like things that would do things like
draw circles in expanding/contracting sizes and with different colors and such.
And with MS-DOS 5, I remember compiling the 'Gorilla' game with QBasic and
having fun playing it (that was the artillery-like game where you had a gorilla
character and had to throw bananas at the other players).
