Kids have no live-action gorilla danger when playing online gorilla games.
Gorillas may inspire contrasting reactions with kids. Some children find them daunting and scary, like those depicted in movies like "King Kong" or "Congo," while others find them cute and harmless, like the title character in Hanna-Barbera's "Magilla Gorilla" cartoon or gorillas at the zoo. If kids are intrigued by gorillas, they can play it safe by learning to play online games featuring the primates.
'Banana Barrage'
Kids learn toss bananas with accuracy in "Banana Barrage," accessible at the Yupis site. To aim bananas, players press the "Left" and "Right" arrow keys, and press the space bar to toss bananas. The longer players hold down the space bar, the harder the toss. Barrels appear for a limited time and then disappear; at the end of a round, players receive a penalty for missed barrels. Players earn 100 points per banana that lands in a barrel, as well as bonus points for accuracy and finishing a round before time elapses.

'Gorilla'
Taking turns---even in the context of battle---features in the "Gorilla" game, accessible at the Play it on the Web site. As gorilla characters, players take turns tossing bananas toward an opponent (either another player at the same computer, or the computer itself), choosing the right angle and power to get the best shot. Before the game begins, players select the "Points to Win" number (from 1 to 9). At any time, players may adjust their angle and velocity by pressing the corresponding arrows on the screen, or pressing "A" and "D" to rotate left or right, respectively, and "W" and "S," to increase or decrease velocity, respectively. Players score points whenever a banana hits the opponent; the game ends when one player reaches the "points to win" target.

Prior to the game, players select the type of arm they want to use for battle. To build strength and try to overpower the gorilla, players alternate pressing the left and right arrows; the faster they alternate pressing the arrows, the more points they accumulate.
