Q*bert
isometric arcade game for Commodore 64, 1983

Use Control Port 1.
Q*bert is a popular arcade game. The goal is to change all of the tiles on a
pyramid to the target color. To do this you guide Q*bert around the pyramid,
and every tile he hops on will change color. On early levels, a single hop
will change the tile to the desired color, but on later levels, you may need
to hop on a tile multiple times or even avoid hopping on a tile multiple
times! Trying to stop Q*bert are many different creatures wandering around
the board, including Coily the snake, Slick and Sam, and falling balls. On
the edge of the board are floating discs; if Q*bert jumps on one of these
discs when the snake is in pursuit, the snake will fall off the board while
Q*bert is safely transported to the top.
