Q*bert (US set 1)

Q*bert is a well-known arcade game released in 1982. The gameplay of Q*bert is simple yet addictive. Players control the main character, Q*bert, an orange cube-shaped creature, jumping on a pyramid of cubes. The goal of the game is to change the color of all the cubes on the pyramid by jumping on them. Each time Q*bert jumps on a cube, its color changes in a certain cycle. However, this is not easy. Q*bert must avoid enemies such as Coily (a snake), Slick (a mouse), and Sam & Slick (two mice). These enemies will try to catch Q*bert. If Q*bert is caught, he loses a life. The player has a certain number of lives, and when they run out, the game ends. Additionally, Q*bert can also use special items to help himself, such as the ability to jump farther or temporarily stun enemies. The game ends when the player completes changing the color of all the cubes on the pyramid or runs out of lives. The combination of controlling Q*bert jumping on the cubes, the unexpected appearance of enemies, and the time limit has created a fascinating and challenging game. The special feature of Q*bert lies in its unique angled perspective, funny sound, and simple yet difficult-to-master gameplay, making it one of the most beloved classic arcade games of all time.
