I know I'm supposed to embrace the challenge, improve my skills and learn to love the game but considering my feelings for Q*Bert are the same as John73's feelings for Burgertime it's going to be a long 2 weeks

Poor old Q*bert. Now you have made him upset ... and he likes you too ...

12:20am - been home from work for nearly 1 hour - need to be up in 7 hours - do I play a game? oh how I love Q*Bert :)

 

For those that didn't see the "news" posts - Warren Davis, the programmer of Q*Bert is coming to Australia for the Gala-Gala event at Pincadia at the end of this month - we'll be getting Q*Bert marquees printed up for him to sign - PM me if you're interested - should have pricing in the next 24 hours (sorry to side track and put a sales spiel in the MGL).

 

Been soooo busy lately I haven't had time to practice Q*Bert - I'm considering if I want to go for a TG top 10 score on this, but it's in the vicinity of 20 hours and I think I'm too old to play a game that long - we'll see what happens...... Will put up a mediocre score shortly on MAME, but will more than likely try to play Q*Bert at Pincadia to get more practice sitting at a real machine prior to the event in 3 weeks time.

Always loved this game! So hard to find them with working “kickers”.

The Atari 2600 had a pretty decent port for the time until Colecovision came out with so many of their great conversions.

My old cat used to love watching me play Q*Bert on the Atari...she'd watch him bounce around the cubes and try and catch him :D

Quick attempt after an 11 hour night shift although I don't tend to play this much better when I'm wide awake. Took 5 attempts just to start jumping in the directions I actually wanted to.

 

Time for bed :sleep

Sorry Q*Bert. It's nothing personal. Just dealing with the creatures who inhabit your pyramid that tends to ruin my occasional visits.

 

Hopefully this will go a little way towards redeeming myself. My previous PB was in MGL 20 and was the last game I played before flying to NZ. Anything above 55K is uncharted territory.

 

Off to the pub for a 5PM breakfast beer now. Might even have one for my little orange friend Q*Bert

Nice dog. Here's some help on how to play Q*bert, or maybe not how to play ... :026: And mum get's to play, maybe you should invite your mum to have a game?

Watch the above Starcade episode to see the contestants demonstrate how not to play QBert!

Yeah it was pretty funny. I've been trying to get some of the other staff to play it at the arcade, these are non-gamers - a lot of people really have trouble getting their head around the joystick direction and the iso graphics.

I loathe this game.

 

I know there are those that love it, I do not understand why.

 

I think it is one of the worst games ever. Ever. Ever. Worse than Atari 2600 E.T.

 

That being said, I will become positive from this post on and do my best to learn this game.

 

I have already passed my score of 6,300 from MGL 28 so ,‘Yay, WooHoo!’, I guess.

Early tip, which I've given before - if you use keyboard (as I am atm since my controller is at work) - I map the keys this way in MAME:

Put your hands on the keys like this and they are facing in the direction that Q*Bert will jump - hope this makes sense.
