Massive improvement from last time this was played. Congrats.

Thanks John. Reading your strategy guide helped a lot.

The biggest difference for me was when I discovered the things come out in the same order every time.

I hadn't played it enough previously to realise that. That is a critical thing to know and is most responsible for my score increase.

Yes thanks @John73. Your guide is very helpful.

Day 11 of 17 ...

Q*bert was very popular, especially if the owning company was a major pinball manufacturer ...

Pincadia should make some of these pins (the badge that is ;))

I'm still shaking......

Just one of those games where everything seemed to fall into place. Crossing 60K all I could think of was maybe beating my 73K submission. Never expected to pass 100K let alone 125K.

Reached 6-1

Day 12 of 17 ...

Q*bert score update ...

Q*bert imposters ...

5 days to go until this tricky game is closed.

Had two lives into level 3 for the first time but blew 'em very quickly on the second mountain.

You've missed one. Post 57 from yesterday. It went up a minute or two before yesterday's update so understandable that it got missed. You were busy posting at the same time.

Thanks Robert,

I think you and I posted at the same time yesterday and I missed your great score. I have just updated the Q*bert scoreboard with your fine effort in post 62. The overall MGL scoreboard will be updated tomorrow.

I’m a much better QBert player than this but this is my first time playing on the Arcade1up Pi Mod and the controls are tough.

I remember I used to be able to set Mame setting with Up but not Right type settings which helped this game.

Anyone remember what I’m talking about and can post directions?

Another game I've never played. Gets lots of hate. I like it. It takes some grinding, sure, but it's a good model :048:

Q*bert is a really fun and challenging game. If you can get your controls sorted out and practice, it gets very rewarding.

The doh version is fun too. I need to get a haircut like that kid.

Only 1 day to go until this game is closed.

Mistakes at the enemy drop points were costly.
