Q*bert high score

[Dexter]

Since I’m into the TI, Q*bert is my absolute favorite game. It’s a pretty difficult game, I think, but not too difficult.

With some strategy and tactics, you quickly get better. However, to a certain degree, it also depends on luck, but I find it perfectly balanced.

I’ll place a picture of my high score, and I’m wondering what’s yours, if you’re playing Q*bert, that is.

 

For the ones with a fetish, I found some nice resources of Q*bert:

In this video, the player gets till level 3, to which I got a few times.

Although it’s not for the TI, here is a helpful FAQ:

oh I like the 2nd movie here, showing all the variations

And the TI´s implementation is one of the nicest, really.

 

Oh, we played that game back in the days, in "the" coffee-house next to "a" school

And we did not went so often to "this" school, next to "our" coffee-house

Nice looking game - on the TI.

 

Nice implementation - on the TI and for it's time.

 

Played a few times / levels way back, but never returned to it. Nice anyhow.

Yes indeed, especially the TI version I find so good, fast gameplay and response to the controls. The manual advices to turn the joystick 45 degrees to the left. May be obvious, but it definitely improves playability. ​

CALL COINC. :-). We were playing Qbert in the weekend on js99er.net/fullscreen.html at someone else location who never saw a TI. Perfect game. Also need to turn the keyboard a bit. You probably like the Jumpy game as well.

You probably like the Jumpy game as well.

 

Yes indeed, I like it too. Though a little less challenging than Q*bert.

I’ll have to try it on the real hardware, that’s always better.
