Anyone ever play Angry Birds?

Do you know where the original idea first/game like it first showed up? (I know )

(Hint: it was buried / hidden in an early OS)

Bowers as it; it was buried in DOS, I think it started back with DOS 2.0
The file was Gorilla.BAS
Along with the Worm game, and was it (I don't remember, I hated that game)
All told there were 3 games buried in DOS, that stayed the whole time DOS was around.

I finally played Angry Birds for the first time about a week ago, and the Gorilla game was the first thing that came to mind.

Yes, you can set security, but if you share your "Drop Box" with someone, you have no control over who else they give access to or share it with.

I don't care if that file is shared with others. My other Dropbox files are not shared.
If they are, tell me the name of another file in my Dropbox.
