ABOUT Q*BERT
Q*bert was developed and released by Gottlieb in 1982. Designed by Warren Davis with artwork and character design by Jeff Lee, the game challenged players to guide Q*bert across a pyramid of cubes, changing their colors while avoiding enemies such as Coily, Ugg, Wrong-Way, Slick, and Sam.
The game's colorful isometric perspective created the illusion of a three-dimensional pyramid at a time when most arcade games were presented from a simple side or overhead view. Its controls were equally distinctive: Q*bert used a single joystick mounted diagonally so that its four directions corresponded with the diagonal movement across the cubes.
ARCADE TRIVIA: Q*bert's famous “swearing” sound wasn't actually speech. When Q*bert collided with an enemy, the cabinet generated a burst of unintelligible synthesized sounds while a comic-book-style “@!#?@!” appeared in a speech balloon. The original cabinet added another memorable effect: a mechanical knocker inside the machine produced a physical thump when Q*bert fell from the pyramid, making it sound as though he had actually landed inside the cabinet.
