help Q*bert FAQ

What is Q*bert trying to do on each pyramid?

Q*bert must hop onto the cubes and change every top surface to the required color. Later rounds make this harder by requiring multiple touches or allowing a second touch to reverse a cube.

What does the green creature Coily do in Q*bert?

Coily begins as a purple egg that bounces down the pyramid and hatches into a snake. Players can lure him onto a flying disc and jump away, causing Coily to fall from the pyramid.

When and by whom was the original Q*bert released?

Gottlieb released the original arcade game in 1982. Warren Davis designed and programmed it, with Jeff Lee creating the distinctive orange character.

Why does Q*bert speak in symbols?

The arcade cabinet displays a speech balloon filled with symbols when Q*bert collides with an enemy. The game's sound hardware also produces an unintelligible synthesized outburst, turning cartoon swearing into part of the character's identity.
