Doesn't work on Win 8.1
donclMay 14, 2014
Pros
None. I cannot think of anything positive about this experience.
Cons
Installation tries to fool you into installing a number of other packages. Possibly this is how the whole business is financed, but the presentation is misleading and bordering on duplicitous; if a user doesn't pay close attention they end up with lots of other nonsense installed. This is very bad. The game itself launches and presents a blank dialog on the screen; nothing happens.
Summary
I would have to advise Win 8.1 users to steer clear.

netbook01November 24, 2010
Pros
Just like from my the Atari days. The controls are simply just the arrow keys. Runs quickly and brings back memories from my childhood. Lots of fun!
Cons
It's Q-bert. Come on... IT's a classic
Summary
Identically like the Arcade game.
No "read me" file telling you how to control game.
mpaigeAugust 3, 2010
Pros
Haven't got it to work yet, so no pros.
Cons
It will install a new bar into your web browser. I does not give yo anything to know how to cotrol the game bia the keyboard.
Summary
It might be fun if they only told you how to conrol the game with the keyboard. I don't have a joystick, and most people don't. They need a "read me" file to tell people how to make th egame work.

The sounds & general gameplay reminds me of years ago
JohnWilliamson2010June 18, 2010
Pros
It's got the sounds, colors, characters of the original game. Brings back lots of memories - an arcade classic for sure.
Cons
none really. If the graphics were better, they wouldn't be true to the original game ;-)
Summary
It's the classic game of Q-Bert. Sounds, colors, characters all match my memory. If you liked the original game, you'll like this one. If you didn't, you won't.

Developer’s Description

By Geeky Dads Software

Hop QBert around tops of pyramid-shaped arrangement of colored cubes.

QBert, one of the last great games produced during the heyday of imaginative and unique game design, 1980 to '84 or so. You control QBert, a fuzzy, orange, limbless and unbearably adorable character whose main distinguishing feature is a large snout completely disproportionate to the rest of his body. Your mission, is to hop QBert around the tops of a pyramid-shaped arrangement of colored cubes using a four-way joystick, changing the tops of the cubes to a specific color. Move Noser around his world and score points by hopping around the pyramid and changing the cube colors but keep an eye out for Qbert's springy nemesis.
