Q*bert is a popular arcade game where the goal is to change all of the tiles on a pyramid to the target color. The main character, Q*bert , guides you around the pyramid, and every tile he hops on will change color. As you progress through levels, it becomes increasingly difficult as you may need to hop on a tile multiple times or even avoid hopping on a tile multiple times.
The game is full of obstacles trying to stop Q*bert , including Coily the snake, Slick and Sam, and falling balls. On the edge of the board 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 Q*bert is safely transported to the top.
The Atari 5200 version of Q*bert was released in 1983 and belongs to the Arcade genre. It's a classic game that has become well-known for its challenging gameplay and unique obstacles.
