Q*bert (US set 1)

The player takes control of Q*Bert - a two-legged large-nosed orange creature - in this abstract platform game from Gottlieb. The object of Q*Bert is to jump around a forced-prespective, M.C. Escher-esque pyramid - landing on every block in order to change its colour. On certain levels, blocks must be jumped on several times before they are changed to that level's target level (as demonstrated in the upper left-hand corner of the screen). Obstructing Q*Bert in his task are a variety of enemies, such as 'Coily the Snake', 'Ugg and Wrong Way' (who can also bounce UP the pyramid as well as down) and 'Slick and Sam'.
