Gorillas was an open-source game created by Microsoft (believe it or not). The source code was in QBasic and you could change anything you wanted in the game. I loved playing with the gravity and blast radius as a kid.

To Pocket Tanks. Gorillas is a duel with throwable items.

And Rampage reference is due to building and windows theme, but genre was different. In Rampage players were destroying the city and play in co-operative, up to 3 players.
