DESCRIPTION
Inspired by the cuteness and simple four-way control of Pac-Man and Frogger, and by the works of artist M.C. Escher, Q*bert features a hose-nosed fellow with a round body who hops from cube to cube on a pyramid until all the cubes match the destination color. Crowding the pyramid are enemies such as Coily the snake, who chases after Q*bert, and Slick, who hops around reversing color changes. Grabbing a bouncing green ball will temporarily freeze the creatures. In a pinch, Q*bert can leap onto flying discs on either side of the pyramid, transporting him safely to the top of the playfield. When Q*bert gets trounced by an enemy, he lets loose with the garbled curse word "@!#?@!." In later levels, cubes must be hopped upon more than once to change them to the desired color. Despite repetitious gameplay and touchy controls, Q*bert is an addictive, innovative game requiring strategic planning and quick thinking. Cool sound effects, humor, and crisp (pseudo-) 3D graphics add to the enjoyment of this coin-op classic. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
