Douglas's game of the week: Q-Bert

I haven't done a classic Arcade review yet, so I'll start with my dad's favourite: Q-Bert!


Q-Bert is about a strange orange creature named...Q-Bert!. Q-Bert wants to eat all of the little white spheres on the game board, so it is your job to Guide Q-bert to eat all of them while not being killed by the enemies. There's not really much storyline involved in Q-Bert but it is still fun to play.

The biggest challenge in Q-Bert is moving. See, in Q-Bert, you don't move up or down, left or right, you move diagonally. This is the challenge in Q-Bert, you have to guide Q-bert down the triangular playing field with 3D looking blocks diagonally. This proves to be a challenge because you have a joystick. My dad taugh me a trick to move and it really does work-What is it? Well I'm not telling you!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Q-Bert may be fun to play, but for newcomers to the game, you will be challenged because you have to move diagonally, which is hard to do on a joystick without the trick. Most of the time, you'll jump right off the ledge to your doom. Overall, Q-Bert is one of the better classic Arcade games like Dig Dug, Centipede, Crystal Castle, and the classic Pong. If you're up for a challenge, you're best off spending money on Q-Bert, it is a pretty challenging game because you must move diagonally with a joystick. 10/10

Pros:
-=New concept=-
-=The 3D looking blocks=-
-=What Q-Bert does when he dies.=-

Cons:
-=Challenging if you do not know the trick=-
-=Watching Q-Bert die as you make him jump the wrong way to his doom.=-
