It's the same program as far as play goes. The really stupid thing is that
GORILLA.BAS is a rewrite of the Apple II, (and probably TRS-80, VIC 20, etc.)
game... but it sucks compared to the Apple II version! It has more action
with the spinning bananas and stomping gorillas but the graphics are so
blocky and it's slow.

Anyway my copy was always just called "Artillery Battle".
