  • Another 80's retro flashback, of the original arcade QBert.
    It took about 5 tries to remember how to play this game again. I used to tag-play with another person racking up a huge score. He'd play for a few hours, then me for a few hours while he did something else...Until we both had had enough and left it with a few hundred lives racked up. They really should have made this game continue to get more difficult. After level 5, it's basically the same thing over and over. See other levels in seperately posted vid.

    The thing I loved most about this game at the arcade was how, if you jumped off the edge, there was a little hammer inside the bottom of the cabinet that would smack the inside somewhere a split second later, so you could hear and feel this clunk like Qbert was splatting down by your feet somewhere.

    Whenever Qbert dies, he goes "@#$!%", and I remember reading Mad Magazine as a kid, and whenever a character would swear, it would be written like that. So I'm assuming whenever Qbert dies, he yells "FUCK!"

    This was my first video game addiction, playing it at Godfather's Pizza in Fairfax, VA by Fairfax Square. I spent a lot of my paper route money playing this one over and over till I conquered the last round and it just repeated it over and over. This brings me right back to that period (late 82 through early 83).

    Nice video. I'm glad to see that you enjoy some of these older arcade games. To this day, they are still some of my favorite games ever.
    As for Q*Bert, the farthest I ever went was level 8-4 on the Colecovision. That far in the game, Q*Bert and the creatures move MUCH faster. Sometimes the game can begin to be a problem on level 5-1 unless you're lucky enough to not have your blocks being changed by the little green blob that jumps on them. Level 5 is not too hard, but can be sometimes.

    A good "Aussiefied" version of this game would be "Roobert" and you'd control a rock wallaby over rocks, eating all the grass that grew on them and avoiding dingoes, Tasmanian devils and a human trapper. If anyone who designs games reads this and thinks "Okay, I'll have a go" and ends up making a decent game of it, he should make it available on Ipad

    For the 1st 4 levels (16 boards), I just wing it. Level 2-4 is probably the hardest.. Once you get to level 5, it's essentially the same thing forever, but the objects bouncing from the top to the bottom are random, and the sideways creatures are random, so you can't have a fixed pattern. Most importantly, I know when Slick is about to come out, and I'll get into position to jump on him, to prevent him from messing everything up.

Q VAL has a strong reference to Wilma Flintstone; Q VAL is more foxier than Q Tee. Since Q VAL has sure grabbed my attention the most. There are some deviantarts that deal with Q'Bert, COILY, and Viper however still.

      TheGreatWent1,, i was introduced to this game in 1981
      at a symposium for severe weather spotters in Waukesha wis, at the collage there. i loved it then and was lucky enough to obtain a copy for m playstation system, which I still have when we went from games like this one, to games that glorify murder ,auto theft and gore in general, is beyond me,I'll stay home and play games such as qbert frogger defender joust and the likes of those any day thank you very much if you have a home game system such as ps2 ,seaga, xbox ect. you can obtain a copy of qbert, on line at amazon
      get a copy and enjoy qbert until the cows come home
      and add your imagination,, each time you start a new game,,, imagine putting a "quarter" into the machine .
      have fun!!! laugh at poor ole qbert! that's what he's there for. and SCREW grand theft auto.
