Q*bert is a popular arcade game where your goal is to change all the tiles on a pyramid to the target color. You guide Q*bert around the pyramid, and every tile he hops on will change color. The difficulty level increases as you progress through the levels - you may need to hop on a tile multiple times or even avoid hopping on a tile multiple times!
The game is filled with obstacles, including Coily the snake, Slick and Sam, and falling balls that are trying to stop Q*bert . On the edge of the board, there are floating discs; if you jump on one of these discs when the snake is in pursuit, the snake will fall off the board while you're safely transported to the top.
