  • I lost my first QBert at 395,615 points, well beyond level 9 (I think I rolled level 9 about 5 times before dying, then I stopped recording immediately after. Notice that I also played level 1 without using disks.
    This is not even close to a world record or anything like that, but still very challenging to achieve and hopefully fun to watch.
    The game was recorded from the Mame arcade emulator using Windows Game Bar (built into Windows 10).

    Very nice!! I've never maxed out my free lives like that. Wonderful gameplay. And I didn't expect that when you finally lost your 1st life, it was accidentally jumping on the purple ball. I thought maybe the colors would be out of sync while you're stuck with no remaining discs and Sam isn't helping you. I died that way many times.

    I love this game, my hi scores, playing by myself I scored 2,400,000 and killed off 120 extra men before the 9 guys started decreasing. Playing with partner, we was challenging the ex world record holders scored 11,540,960 playing for 23hr and 30min. Thanks for making the video and bringing back some awesome memories.

    I saw a "turbo" version of this game in a bar where Q-Bert moves at double speed but the bad guys move at their normal speeds. I thought, "This'll be a cinch!" and then crashed into everything that moved on the screen and jumped off the side repeatedly. Yeah.

    If you think you're good, try playing this in black & white. Which is what I did when I bought the Parker Bros. cartridge for my Atari 800XL. I wanted to see what was past Level 9. I was super disappointed the game mechanic didn't change after level 4. I totally bombed out of college after playing for over 8 hours on a single quarter at Funway Freeway in Columbus, Ohio. Not my best moment...

      they could play better by getting the snakes to jump off once they're close by jumping on the disk 2x each level. 500 points each time

      @@aputridpileofb-movies6542 I remember reading about how Q*bert was considered "patternless," since the enemies use randomess in their movement. I seem to recall an article from an early gaming magazine (maybe Joystik?) that mentioned patterns could only work flawlessly if you played as soon as the game was turned on, since the RNG's state carried over between games.

    trying to play this on ps3. it doesn't give you as many lives as the arcade version. have to beat 5 3 best I can do is 5 1. what is the best advice or tips you can give? really impressive by the way

    • @litoxcas
      @litoxcas  2 роки тому +1

      I've never played the PS3 version, however, I've played it on the Commodore 64, and it is a bit faster than the arcade, but it still follows a pattern. My advice is to recognize the patterns when Coily and the other enemies come out as well as Slick and Sam. Always use the disks at the bottom first, then the middle ones and when you are close to the end go to the top ones. Therefore, make sure to go from the bottom up. The green ball usually comes out late in the stage, at that time you should be at the top, where there are fewer squares and a higher probability of catching it coming down, then you can clean up. In the arcade (and the C64) Level 5-3 is where the game reaches its peak difficulty, from there on is just a new color sequence.

      @litoxcas  2 роки тому +1

      I actually meant to say that after 5-2, the timing patterns for the enemies and green objects don't change for the rest of the game. Once you get past 5-3 it becomes easier to memorize the patterns.

    • @litoxcas
      @litoxcas  2 роки тому +1

      @@patrickmcclain5692 Yes, the green ball resets everything. The designers timed the appearance of the green ball it in such a way that getting to a second occurrence of it in one round will make survival very difficult for average players, unless they have many extra Qberts left. That's why it's important to develop a pattern by learning the timings.

      They drop at certain times, you have to play a pattern to get them. Most of the time they come out on the same side where Coily last came out.

    • @RyKinder
      @RyKinder 4 роки тому

      Blinky Ghost Jr perfect plays would be using the discs. It is harder to use all the discs (while getting coily to fall off) than keep them totally unused. This is why you get more points for using them in combo with tricking coily than leaving them behind.

    • @litoxcas
      @litoxcas  4 роки тому

      I disagree. It doesn't make any sense to use up all the disks on every round to consider this a perfect game. Q*Bert is not like Pac-Man, where you can only get a discrete number of points. Q*Bert allows for an unknown number of points per round as long as you remain playing. Staying around racking up points defeats the purpose of the game.
