Description

Q*bert is an unofficial port of the original Q*Bert for the BBC Micro. The player attempts to color all squares on a pyramid by moving to the different positions. Green balls constantly fall from the top of the pyramid and then bounce off the bottom. Two discs at the edge of the screen transport Q*Bert to the top of the pyramid. The player starts with three lives, and loses a life if they jump off the pyramid or are hit by a falling ball. There are six levels of difficulty to choose from.
