Special Note: Reason We Discontinued This Game

After some internal discussion we decided to discontinue this game due to potential trademark violations by the game developer.  Game remakes, as fun as they are, actually are not legal if they use trademarked names or game features found in the original game.  Since this particular game closely resembles the original, we decided to be safe rather than sorry and discontinued it.

Game Description

This is an excellent Q-Bert clone, with all the nuances and characters of the original game. Manuever your little Q dude around a pyramid of lighted blocks. When you step on a block, it changes color. Change all the block tops to the right color and you will move on to the next level.

Sound easy? No way! The game control takes a bit getting used to and Mr. Coily (the purple snake), has a homing device that steers him right at Q-Bert. You will definitely want to adjust the key controls to suit your preferences.

The game is DOS format and may or may not work on some systems. You probably won't get sound unless you have a very old SoundBlaster 16 card.

Q Bert Game Tips

• The best way to defeat Mr. Coily is by using the flying saucer pads. When Coily gets close, jump on a pad to head for the top of the pyramid while Coily jumps off into nowhere.
• Utilize the first couple seconds at the start of the board or after dying to jump on as many blocks as possible.
• Anything that is green is helpful for Q-Bert. You want to touch green objects and stay away from everything else.
